Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a VMC and a CMC?
A Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) requires a registered trademark and unlocks the blue verified checkmark in Gmail. A Common Mark Certificate (CMC) is for brands without a registered trademark, but with at least 12 months of demonstrable logo use. Both display your brand logo in BIMI-supported email clients.
Do I need DMARC enforcement before ordering?
Yes. Your sending domain must have a DMARC policy of p=quarantine or p=reject (with pct=100) before BIMI will display your logo. Our team can guide you through DMARC setup if needed.
How long does validation take?
Most VMC and CMC orders complete in 5 to 10 business days, assuming logo files meet the SVG Tiny PS spec and trademark or prior-use evidence is in order.
Will my logo show in every email client?
Your logo will appear in BIMI-supported clients today: Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and Fastmail. Only Gmail currently displays the blue verified checkmark, which requires a VMC.
Can I upgrade from a CMC to a VMC later?
Yes. Many brands start with a CMC while their trademark application is pending, then upgrade to a VMC once the trademark is registered. Talk to our team about the upgrade path.
