Google Workspace signs outgoing mail with DKIM only after an admin generates a key in the Google Admin console and publishes it in DNS. That key lives at one name: google._domainkey on the sending domain. This checker looks up that exact name and gives a plain verdict on whether a Google DKIM key resolves there.

DKIM is one leg of three. For a general look at any selector, use the DKIM Checker; to see SPF, DKIM and DMARC in one pass, use the Email Authentication Checker — and you can put that checker on your own site from the embed page.

If no key resolves, the usual causes are that DKIM was never turned on in the Admin console, the TXT record was published at the wrong name, or DNS has not propagated yet. If you would rather have authentication set up and verified end to end for you, see Start a build.

How to read your result

  • PASS — Google DKIM key found: a DKIM record resolves at google._domainkey and carries a public key.
  • No Google DKIM key: nothing usable resolves at the google selector. Workspace mail from this domain is either unsigned or signing is not published.
  • Record present, key missing: a record exists but has no usable public key in it.

FAQ

Where does Google Workspace publish its DKIM key?

At google._domainkey.yourdomain as a TXT record, after you generate it in the Google Admin console.

Does creating the key in Google Admin turn signing on by itself?

No. The record must be published in DNS, and signing must then be started in the Admin console.

How long after publishing should I recheck?

Give DNS time to propagate — often minutes, sometimes a few hours — then run this check again.
