How to obtain a VMC certificate?

You must:

Own a registered trademark of the logo. This mark must be registered with a recognized intellectual property office such as USPTO in the United States or EUIPO in Europe.

  • Submit documentation proving legal ownership.
  • Pass organizational validation.
  • Pay a certificate authority such as Entrust or Digicert.
  • Publish the certificate via DNS.

It is a formal process similar to registering a vessel’s insignia with the central maritime authority.
