On social media, the blue verified checkmark separates the real from the fake — signaling authenticity, authority, and credibility with a single glance as you scroll.
But what about email?
It’s still the #1 business communication tool — and the #1 target for impersonation.
Unlike closed social platforms, email runs across millions of servers and inbox providers, making it harder to standardize trust.
Until now.
Enter the Verified Mark Certificate (VMC):
The inbox version of a verified badge — built for the open, global email ecosystem.
Which Brands Should Consider VMC?
- Brands with High Email Volume
If email is a key part of your customer communication or marketing strategy.
- Companies with Trademarked Logos
A registered trademark is required — we’ll help you confirm eligibility.
- Organizations Focused on Trust
Great for industries where brand reputation and security are everything: finance, healthcare, tech, legal, e-commerce, and more.
- Teams Fighting Phishing & Spoofing
VMC helps prevent impersonation by making your real messages visually stand out.
- Marketers Who Want a Performance Edge
Higher visibility = higher open rates, click-throughs, and brand recall.
How VMC Works Together With BIMI and DMARC
Trust in the inbox starts with
DMARC, the email authentication protocol that proves your messages are truly from your domain, not a spoofed address.
Next comes the
Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) — proving your logo is trademarked and your brand is legitimate.
Then
BIMI brings it all together.
It’s the inbox standard that displays your verified logo in combination with the blue verified checkmark — and signals instant trust across major email platforms.
