Attendance tracking is an essential task in educational institutions, but it is often handled using methods that are either manual or only partially automated. These approaches take time. They also allow issues such as proxy attendance and data manipulation. Many digital systems improve either identity verification or location tracking. However, they rarely provide a complete solution. In this work, a smart attendance system is presented that combines face recognition, geofencing, and blockchain technology. The system first checks the user’s identity using facial recognition. It then confirms whether the user is present within a defined location. Once both conditions are satisfied, the attendance record is stored securely using blockchain, making it tamper-resistant. This approach improves accuracy, reduces manual effort, and ensures transparency. The system is simple to use and suitable for real-world environments such as classrooms and workplaces
