Display your logo in every inbox — verified

A Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) lets your organization show its authenticated, trademarked brand logo directly in the email sender field — turning every email into a branded, trusted communication.

The certificate behind your logo in the inbox

A VMC is a digital certificate that verifies your organization owns a specific trademarked logo and is authorized to display it in email clients that support BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification). When recipients see your verified logo before they open the email, they instantly know it’s genuinely from you — not an impersonator.
