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:

   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.
