To solve that problem browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. come embedded with information to find out which certificates are genuine. Browsers look for signature in the certificate, the signature on the certificate needs to be from one of the certified certificate authorities. If there is no such signature in the certificate then the browser will display a warning to the user that this connection is not really HTTPS. The server on the other hand need to get the signed certificate from one of the certificate authority by physically verifying their identity(by sending docs etc.).
