DigiCert Mark Certificates

Brand protection and defense against domain impersonation attacks.

Verified Mark Certificates

Combine your GeoTrust certificate with a DigiCert® Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) to ensure trusted email communications that reach customer inboxes directly.

When paired with email authentication standards like BIMI, DMARC, DKIM, and SPF, a VMC provides email recipients with an immediate visual indication that the message is genuinely from you. For trademarks protected by prior use, opt for a Common Mark Certificate. For registered trademarks and government seals, choose a VMC.

Features

Combat Phishing

A VMC lets you display your verified logo in the recipient's inbox, serving as a visual cue that your communications are legitimate. This helps recipients easily recognize phishing attempts and fraudulent messages.

Bolster Email Security

Since VMCs require verification of strong email authentication standards, your organization will gain enhanced visibility, security, and improved deliverability.

Elevate Your Content

VMCs make it simple to extend your organization's visual brand to one of the most competitive and widely used digital spaces. This helps boost recognition and reach while enhancing email security and validation.
