w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on California closed the Montana license plate loophole
Paying bollo is not the main reason. Bollo is around 100-200€ a year. Third Party Insurance for cars is mandatory and in Naples, due to high level of fraud, it can amount to 1500-2000€ a year. Using a Polish insurance, or a fake Polish insurance, is the main reason to get a Polish license plate.

Luckily the loop hole is being closed by the Polish authorities after it became popular.

We should stop treating digital pictures of physical documents as some sort of crdentials.

There is a reason why numerous security features are embedded in physical documents like watermarks, holograms and NFC. That's so the authenticity can be inspected in person. A picture has none of those, so it should not be treated as a credential.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Gmail's blue checkmarks are coming to iOS and Android
>Thanks for the information. So, if I get it right, the blue checkmark is simply a way to say that Google performed adequate checks? Why not simply display the logo only for BIMI-certified emails, and drop the checkmark?

Yeah the checkmark is a Google idea, the BIMI standard is only about verifying the logo.

> Another issue, is that logos are much more volatile than domain names, and I don't see a good way to prevent scammers to bimi-register visually confusing logos. So I don't think it's a good idea to emphasize logos to users as a mark of trust in emails.

Well in theory the CA will manually verify that the logo submitted by the company is visually matching a registered trademark by the same company. That's the reason why a VMC certificate is so expensive. But let's see how it goes about that.

w3ll_w3ll_w3ll··on Gmail's blue checkmarks are coming to iOS and Android
Under the BIMI scheme you don't pay Google, but a Certification Authority (only Digicert and Entrust for now) to get a certificate for your company logo, so that Google and other mail providers will display your company logo.
