Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Table Text Block]

Revenues

The Company generates revenues in the U.S.; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); China; and certain other countries, including Canada, Japan, and Singapore.

The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by geography, based on the billing addresses of our customers:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	(In millions)
U.S.	$	260.2	$	250.8	$	773.2	$	741.2
EMEA	62.8		57.7		184.7		169.4
China	19.7		22.0		60.2		71.0
Other	47.9		45.8		143.9		131.1
Total revenues	$	390.6	$	376.3	$	1,162.0	$	1,112.7

Revenues in the table above are attributed to the country of domicile and the respective regions in which registrars are located; however, this may differ from the regions where the registrars operate or where registrants are located. Revenues for each region may be impacted by registrars reincorporating, relocating, or from acquisitions or changes in affiliations of resellers. Revenues for each region may also be impacted by registrars domiciled in one region, registering domain names in another region.

Deferred Revenues

As payments for domain name registrations and renewals are due in advance of our performance, we record these amounts as deferred revenues. The increase in the deferred revenues balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by amounts billed in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 for domain name registrations and renewals to be recognized as revenues in future periods, offset by refunds for domain name renewals deleted during the 45-day grace period, and $791.1 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenues balance at December 31, 2023. The balance of deferred revenues as of September 30, 2024 represents our aggregate remaining performance obligations. Amounts included in current deferred revenues are all expected to be recognized in revenues within 12 months, except for a portion of deferred revenues that relates to domain name renewals that are deleted in the 45-day grace period following the transaction. The long-term deferred revenues amounts will be recognized in revenues over several years and in some cases up to ten years.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

Basis Of Presentation	9 Months Ended
Basis Of Presentation	Sep. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by VeriSign, Inc. (“Verisign” or the “Company”) in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in Verisign’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 15, 2024. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income as previously reported. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires additional disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance will be applied retrospectively and will be effective for our 2024 Form 10-K, and for interim periods beginning in 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance will be effective for our 2025 Form 10-K. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	(In millions)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	97.3	102.9	99.0	103.9

Unvested RSUs and ESPP	—	0.1	0.1	0.1

The number of potential shares excluded from the calculation was not significant in any period presented.
