FAQs

DigiCert was the first digital trust provider ever accredited under the BIMI standard and is recognized by every major email client that supports BIMI. Their validation process follows Extended Validation (EV) standards, giving your VMC the highest level of identity assurance. DigiCert VMCs are supported by Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Apple Mail, Fastmail, Zoho Mail, and more.

A Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) requires a registered trademark (or qualifying government seal) and enables the Gmail blue authenticated checkmark in addition to logo display. A Common Mark Certificate (CMC) does not require a registered trademark; your logo must only be in documented prior use for 12+ months, but it does not unlock the Gmail blue checkmark. Both certificates require DMARC enforcement, DKIM, and SPF, and both display your logo in BIMI-supporting inboxes.

BIMI and Verified Mark Certificates are supported by all major email clients. The following inbox providers currently display logos for senders with a valid VMC or CMC and BIMI record:

• Gmail — displays logo + blue authenticated checkmark (VMC only for blue checkmark)
• Yahoo Mail — displays logo for authenticated senders
• Apple Mail — displays logo for authenticated senders
• Fastmail — displays logo for authenticated senders
• Zoho Mail — requires VMC for logo display
• La Poste — BIMI-participating provider
• au.com — BIMI-participating provider

The list of participating providers continues to grow as BIMI adoption increases. Gmail’s requirement for a VMC to show the blue checkmark has been a key driver of VMC adoption among enterprise senders.

A DigiCert Verified Mark Certificate through SSL Dragon starts at $1,249/year for a 1-year term, dropping to $1,049/year on a 3-year subscription. A DigiCert Common Mark Certificate starts at $949/year (1 year) or $799/year (3 years).

Compared to buying directly from DigiCert, purchasing through an authorized partner like SSL Dragon offers competitive pricing on the same genuine certificate with the same DigiCert validation and issuance.

One VMC is required per unique logo and per unique base domain. If your organization sends email from multiple domains using the same trademarked logo, you’ll need a separate VMC for each domain. Both VMC and CMC certificates have a maximum validity period of 397 days, identical to TLS/SSL certificates. You can buy VMC as multi-year subscriptions to lock in a lower annual rate.

Proses validasi mirip dengan sertifikat EV SSL dan mencakup:

• Verifikasi dokumen pendaftaran bisnis
• Konfirmasi status badan hukum
• Verifikasi identitas melalui panggilan video atau ID yang disahkan oleh notaris
• Verifikasi kepemilikan domain
• Untuk VMC: Verifikasi merek dagang dengan kantor IP yang diakui (USPTO, EUIPO, WIPO)
• Untuk CMC: Bukti penggunaan logo selama lebih dari 12 bulan

Keseluruhan proses biasanya memakan waktu 7-14 hari untuk VMC atau 5-10 hari untuk CMC.

• Ukuran file di bawah 24KB
• Warna latar belakang yang solid
• Tidak ada tautan eksternal, skrip, atau font yang disematkan

Ini adalah protokol autentikasi email yang bekerja bersama:

• SPF (Kerangka Kerja Kebijakan Pengirim): Menentukan server email mana yang dapat mengirim email dari domain Anda
• DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Menambahkan tanda tangan digital untuk memverifikasi email yang belum dirusak
• DMARC (Otentikasi, Pelaporan & Kesesuaian Pesan Berbasis Domain): Menerapkan kebijakan tentang cara menangani email yang gagal dalam pemeriksaan SPF atau DKIM

Ketiganya diperlukan agar Sertifikat BIMI dan Mark berfungsi.

Tidak, VMC memerlukan logo merek dagang. Jika Anda tidak memilikinya, CMC adalah alternatifnya.
