Prerequisites for Ordering Verified Mark Certificates

In order to successfully implement a Verified Mark Certificate, you will need to ensure that the following actions are completed:

1. DMARC Policy. Ensure it is set to "quarantine" at 100% or "reject" to comply. 
   Please note that you need to apply the DMARC policy 30 days in advance. 

2. SPF and DKIM Records. Make sure these are configured correctly for your domain to enhance email authentication.
   To set up DKIM, SPF and DMARC, please refer to this guide.

3. Trademarked Logo. Your logo needs to be officially registered as a recognized trademark.
   To view the list of Intellectual Property Office Regions, please refer to this article.

4. BIMI Guidelines Compliance. Format your logo according to the BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) standards.
   To convert your logo to according to BIMI standards, please refer to this guide.
