Abstract: A verifiable property record of a property using a distributed electronic ledger. A request is received to add an item to the distributed electronic ledger, where the item is related to the property. A determination is made whether the item is authorized to be added to the distributed electronic ledger including determining whether the source of the request is permitted to write to the distributed electronic ledger. The source of the request may be permitted to write to the distributed electronic ledger if the source has explicit permission or has satisfied one or more verification criteria. If the item is authorized to be added to the distributed electronic ledger, the item is written to the distributed electronic ledger.
