How to Get Verified on Instagram

A verified badge (the blue tick next to a celebrity or brand account name) shows users that you're, in Instagram's words, "the authentic presence of a notable public figure, celebrity, global brand or company they represent".

For example, there are many fan pages on Instagram, but there is only one real account verified by the blue badge.

To apply for a verified badge, you must be a public figure, celebrity or brand and meet certain requirements. If you've determined that you meet Instagram's criteria for verification, follow these steps to apply for a badge:

1.Go to your profile (the person icon in bottom left corner).
2.Tap the three lines in the top right corner.
3.Click "Settings" > "Account" > "Request Verification"
4.Fill out the form, including username, Full Name, Known As, Category, and government-issued phoot ID.
5.When you've filled out all form fields, click "Send".

It's important to note, you won't necessarily receive a verified badge if you request one.
