Mark Certificates enhance the reputation, engagement, and trust of your emails by displaying your logo next to every authenticated email.
By combining email authentication standards (BIMI, DMARC), Mark Certificates provide recipients with an instant visual indication that your email is authentic and trustworthy. You can choose a Common Mark Certificate (CMC) to protect trademarks based on prior use, or a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) to protect registered trademarks and government seals.
