It is domain originator validation issued by GoDaddy. A Certified Domain is valid for domains registered at Go Daddy. GoDaddy will issues Certified Domain seal to validated domain’s owner.
What’s the purpose of GoDaddy Certified Domain Seal?
GoDaddy says, "there is something you can do to reassure visitors you’re one of the good guys: Put a Certified Domain validation seal on your Web site.
* Ease Fears. … this domain validation process proves to visitors and potential customers that you are who you say you are.

Do you really need a Certified Domain?
In my opinion, it depends on what you are doing with it.
If you are the owners business Web sites or other sites that offer transactions and other activities of a sensitive nature, the Domain Origination Certified seal provides visible evidence that a domain has been validated and its registrant’s credentials verified. But, how many visitors would doubt of your site if you don’t have a certified domain seal on it? If somebody says that displaying the Domain Origination Certified seal will improve legitimacy and trustworthiness of a website, do you agree?

So far I’ve heard no one mention the possible SEO benefits of having a certified domain. Are there any? Will ranking algorithms account for this in the future?
It seems logical that search engines would consider the authenticity of a domain registrant when ranking pages. But I just don’t know if the practice is in place, yet.
Any SEO experts out there with inside information?
