Methods, mediums, and systems for document authorization

A method comprising:

• presenting a user interface on a mobile device;
• receiving a first request, via the user interface, to issue an instrument having a specified value, the instrument being convertible to the specified value when the instrument is in a predefined context;
• receiving a first indication that the instrument has been issued, wherein the instrument is issued in an alternate context, the alternate context being different than the predefined context;
• presenting an interactable element on the user interface of the mobile device, the interactable element configured to be set into a first configuration associated with the alternate context of the instrument and a second configuration associated with the predefined context of the instrument;
• receiving user input to change the instrument from the alternate context to the predefined context by a user physically moving the interactable element in a first direction from the first configuration to the second configuration;
• responsive to the user input, authenticating a user account with a server and receiving a code associated with the instrument;
• generating a second request to alter a state of the instrument from the alternate context to the predefined context if the user account is authenticated at the server when the code is received, the second request comprising the code;
• transmitting the second request to the server;
• and
• receiving verification that the instrument is convertible.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions configured to cause a processor to:

• receive a first request for a limited-use note;
• validate that a user account associated with the limited-use note has access to assets valued at or greater than an amount specified in the first request;
• create the limited-use note by:
• applying a physical manifestation of an identifying document code on the limited-use note, and
• placing the limited-use note in a deactivated state at a time of issuance, wherein, when the limited-use note is in the deactivated state, the limited-use note cannot be redeemed for the amount specified in the first request;
• cause an interactable element to be presented on a user interface of a client device, the interactable element configured to be set into a first configuration associated with the deactivated state of the limited-use note and a second configuration associated with an activated state of the limited-use note;
• receive a second request to activate the limited-use note from the client device responsive to user input comprising a user physically moving the interactable element in a first direction from the first configuration to the second configuration, the second request associated with an activation of the physical manifestation of the identifying document code;
• validate the second request by:
• authenticating that the user is logged into the user account on the client device, and
• verifying that the user was logged in at the time the physical manifestation of the identifying document code was requested to be activated;
• and
• place the limited-use note in the activated state in response to validating the second request, wherein, when the limited-use note is in the activated state, the limited-use note is redeemable for the amount specified in the first request.
