Build Trust with a Mark Certificate

Put your brand front and center in the inbox with a Mark Certificate. This digital key makes your verified logo appear next to your emails. When recipients see your logo (and, in some cases, a verified checkmark), they instantly know it’s really you, and not a phisher in disguise.

There are two types of Mark Certificates:

  • Verified Mark Certificate (VMC): For trademarked logos. Shows your verified checkmark and proves you’re the official brand owner, making your emails nearly impossible to spoof.
  • Common Mark Certificate (CMC): For non-trademarked logos used for at least 12 months. It builds recognition and trust, without the checkmark.

GlobalSign Mark Certificates are supported by our API allowing you to order, renew, revoke and validate your certificates quickly and easily.

How to Implement a Mark Certificate

When purchasing a Mark Certificate, there are some prerequisites that need to be completed:

  • 1

    Deploy Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) standards for your domain

    BIMI requires DMARC, which is an email authentication protocol that instructs recipients’ servers on how to deal with fraudulent emails sent by unauthorized people using your domain. Please note that you should have at least SPF or DKIM in place to deploy DMARC. Implementing both is encouraged for the best protection against email-based menaces attempted in your brand’s name.

    Be able to prove ownership of your logo

    To qualify for a VMC, your logo must be legally trademarked with the appropriate office for your geographic region.

    For a CMC, you do not require legal registration of your logo, but you must have been using it for at least 12 months.

    Convert your logo file to the .SVG format

    To complete the Mark Certificate order process, you will need to ensure your trademarked logo has been converted to the .SVG format using Adobe Illustrator.

    Upload the purchased Mark Certificate to your web server

    Once the certificate is issued to you, you are going to get an email with your entity certificate Privacy Enhanced Mail file. Upload this file to your public web server.
