# Statements

> Create, preview, and download a verified statement of your Bitcoin.

A statement is a PDF of your verified claims for a date range. It shows opening balance, money in, money out, and closing balance for each claim.

## Before you start

* You need at least one **verified** claim. Pending claims aren't listed.
* Each statement you create uses **1 credit**. You're charged only when it finishes. Statements for a partner's [request](https://help.hoseki.app/prove/requests-and-sharing.md) are free to you.

## Create a statement

**1. Start**

Select **Generate Statement** on **Home** or **Statements**.

**2. Pick dates**

Choose a **Start Date** and **End Date**. The default is the last 3 months. Dates use your browser's time zone.

**3. Add contact details (optional)**

Open **Contact Information**. Add a **Name** and **Address**. They print exactly as you type them. Your email always prints.

**4. Pick claims**

Check the claims to include.

**5. Preview**

Select **Preview Statement** to check it. Previews are free.

**6. Generate**

Select **Generate Statement**. When it's ready, select **View Statement**.

**7. Download**

Choose **Full Period** or **Monthly**. Select **Download**. Downloading again is free.

## Date rules

* Start no earlier than April 30, 2013.
* End no later than today.
* Start must be on or before end.

## What's on the PDF

* Your email, plus your name and address if you added them.
* A summary per claim: opening balance, money out, money in, and closing balance. Claims are listed as **Account #1**, **Account #2**, and so on.
* A page of transactions for each claim. Unconfirmed transactions show "PENDING".
* Your total in BTC.
* The **Hoseki Verified** badge.

The PDF does not include your wallet addresses, transaction IDs, or public keys.

## Hoseki Verified

The badge means each claim on the statement passed proof of control in Prove. You signed a message with that wallet's key. Balances and transactions come from the Bitcoin blockchain. Prices come from CoinGecko.

## Find past statements

**Statements** lists everything you've made, plus statements made for partner requests. The **Requester** column shows "Self-initiated" or the partner's name.

## Out of credits?

You'll see "You need 1 credit to generate this statement." Select **⚡️ Buy 1 Credit Now** or **See Bundles**. See [Credits](https://help.hoseki.app/prove/credits.md).
