BIMI Record Checker

BIMI works by allowing you to publish a BIMI record in your DNS. This record must contain a secure URL to your logo and your VMC Certificate (an optional step, but required for your logo to be displayed in Gmail mailboxes). When you send an email to a BIMI-supported mailbox provider, it’ll check your sending domain’s DMARC policy and verify that it matches your BIMI record. If both checks are successful, the mailbox provider uses the logo from the URL found in your BIMI record to populate the BIMI image of your sent email.

For BIMI to work, you must:

First, achieve DMARC enforcement (with a p=quarantine or p=reject DMARC policy implemented on your email sending domain).

Obtain a verified mark certificate (VMC) as some mailbox providers may require this.
Your brand’s logo located at a secure URL in SVG format.
Your VMC located at a secure URL in .pem file format.
Generate a BIMI record and publish it in your DNS.

BIMI requires DMARC enforcement. It builds upon robust email authentication to enhance your brand’s credibility within BIMI-supported mailboxes, with the added value of brand identification. With BIMI, you show the world that you take email security seriously, protect your brand reputation, and ensure nobody (hey, cybercriminals!) is impersonating your domain.
