Verified badges on Facebook and Instagram appear next to the Page or account's name, as well as in search. This shows that we have confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the creator, public figure, celebrity or global brand it represents and helps people more easily find the accounts they wish to follow.
Our verification team vets all requests thoroughly and bases their review on a number of inputs to determine whether an account is eligible to be verified.
To be considered for a blue verified badge, Facebook Pages and profiles must adhere to our Terms of Service and Community Standards, as well as have a profile photo, cover photo and a Page name that follows our guidelines. Instagram accounts must follow our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

Your account must be public and have a bio, profile picture and at least one post. Your profile can't contain "add me" links to other social media services.

Your account must represent a well-known, highly searched for individual, brand or entity. We review accounts that are featured in multiple news sources. We don't consider paid or promotional content as sources for review.

If you’re an influencer or brand on Facebook, you might know what it’s like to be targeted by scammers who create fake accounts and pretend to be you. When it happens, you need a way to show your audience that your profile/page is the authentic one.
Enter Facebook’s verification badge.
Getting your Facebook account verified is a great way to prove your authenticity and credibility to your online audience.
The verification badge can also help your Facebook Page rank higher in search results on the platform. This makes it easier for potential customers to find your business.
However, applying to be verified on Facebook is a mysterious process. There’s no way to know for sure that your application will be accepted. But don’t get discouraged!
In this article, we’ll discuss the steps you can take before applying to get verified on Facebook that will increase your chances of being verified. We’ll also cover things you can do to ensure that you keep your verification badge on Facebook once you get it.
Let’s dive in!
Facebook verification refers to the process of getting an account or Page verified. When Facebook verifies an account, it adds a blue checkmark beside the account name to show other users that the account is authentic.
In 2013, Facebook took a cue from Twitter and started verifying genuine accounts belonging to celebrities, artists, and notable organizations.
In 2018, Facebook started verifying Pages with large followings. And now, they’re offering the checkmark to individual profiles when the audience reaches a particular size.
If there’s one feature Facebook offers, it’s badges. The platform offers top seller badges, top fan badges, the verification badge, and so on.
The verification badge, in particular, is a blue checkmark, and is distinct from other available badges.
In the past, Facebook offered gray checkmarks and Marketplace verifications. But they’ve scrapped these programs.
Getting that coveted blue checkmark on your Facebook profile is as easy as filling out a single page verification request form. But if you want the best chance at getting your application accepted, there are some things you need to do first.
You can request verification for a Facebook profile or Page.
Before filling out the verification form, you need to log into your Facebook account. When you’re logged in, the form will automatically show you the profiles or pages you can request verification for.
If you’re applying for a Facebook profile, you only need the profile’s URL to get started.
When you apply for a Facebook verification, you’ll be asked to provide a document that proves that you are, indeed, who you say you are. This step ensures that Facebook does not verify fake accounts and impersonators.
Facebook accepts these forms of verification:
The specific forms of identification that are accepted vary based on who issued them. If you’re not sure if Facebook will accept your ID, check out their list of rules regarding ID. Whatever ID you use, you’ll need to scan it so that you can attach it to the verification form.
On the verification form, Facebook asks you to prove that your account is notable enough to be verified. In essence, they want to know that your account is prominent enough to be at risk of impersonation.
In this section, you’ll provide basic information about your account, including the category it falls under, and the region/country your account is most popular in.
You’ll also find several optional fields. The more information you provide, the higher your chances are of getting verified.
The Audience section is where you provide information on the kinds of people that follow you, what their interests are, and why they’re following your account. You don’t necessarily have to fill in the Also known as field, unless your business/brand goes by different names in different markets.
The last thing you’ll have to do is provide up to five links to other social media accounts or articles that best demonstrate how popular your account is.
These links should be independent—Facebook won’t consider paid or promotional content.
Once you submit your application, Facebook will review your request and decide whether to approve or reject it. This process typically takes between 48 hours and 45 days. Whatever the outcome, Facebook will send you an email about your application.
When deciding whether or not to verify a profile or Page, Facebook looks for four factors:
In this section, we’ll discuss a few ways to ensure that your Facebook profile or Page meets all the requirements for a verification badge.
No matter how professional your Facebook business page looks, you’ll likely not be verified if your information isn’t up to date. Facebook typically reviews and validates applicants’ information before they grant the verification badge. So you need to ensure that yours is accurate.
To do this, pay attention to your:
The more details you provide about your brand, the better your chances are of getting verified. A great place to start is your Page’s About section. Fill in details like:
The aesthetic and overall vibe of your Facebook page should match the image your brand presents in the physical world and digital landscape.
This helps Facebook understand the connection between your Page and your brand.
This means that you should only share on-brand content on your Facebook Page. Avoid sharing content that will reduce your credibility in the eyes of the public, such as:
To determine content that can prevent you from getting verified, analyze your business page through the lens of a potential customer, and tweak or remove anything that doesn’t look professional.
If you want to get verified on Facebook, you need to include an accurate link to your business’ official website. You should also include a link to your Facebook Page on your website.
If you’re a brand looking to get verified on Facebook, it makes sense to set up a Facebook Business Page.
Creating a business Page is completely free, and the process for verifying a Page is the same as verifying a profile.
The information you include on your business Page will show that you’re authentic and notable.
A huge part of getting a blue checkmark is your notoriety. And the best way to show that you’re popular is to build a large and active following on Facebook.
There are several ways to build a community and increase your engagement rate on Facebook. Some of these methods include:
Getting a blue checkmark is one thing—keeping it is another. Per Facebook’s rules and regulations, your verification badge can be taken away from you on certain occasions. Here are some things you should do to stay verified on Facebook:
Enable two-factor authenticationHaving a blue checkmark next to your account name can be insanely valuable to your brand. So the last thing you want is for some hacker or scammer to hijack your verified account.
To prevent this from happening, enable two-factor authentication—a security system that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. This layer gives you an alternative way apart from the typical log-in screen to prove your identity when you access your account. This alternative can be:
This makes it much harder for someone that’s not you to log into your verified Facebook account.
When your account is verified, you need to make sure you’re familiar with Facebook’s Community Standards.
While you might think that you’ll have to follow the same rules as every other Facebook user, that’s not quite the case.
Sure, you’ll have to comply with Facebook’s standards on illegal content and online harassment, same as everyone else. But there are other rules that specifically apply to verified accounts.
For example, if you’re reposting content by other users—which is a great way to increase your engagement and build a community—ensure that you do so in a way that aligns with Facebook’s intellectual property and privacy standards.
As mentioned earlier, popularity plays a major role in account verification. So you have to remain popular to keep your verification badge.
To do so, implement some top-tier Facebook marketing practices that can help you find and interact with your audience.
Facebook marketing includes everything from posting organically to running ads.
As a rule of thumb, you should pursue anything that puts your brand in a good light and increases your credibility. Facebook’s verification badge is one of those things.
If you follow the steps outlined above before filling out the verification form, you’ll have a shot at having your own checkmark.

❗Now this can be said to be a standard check from FB before launching advertising.
It's like in the past with the verification of Business Managers, which was used by the elite, and then FB began to force everyone to confirm campaigns.
In this manual, I am based on my experience and the experience of 7 of my friends with whom I communicated before compiling the manual, we all work with different types of accounts in different niches of the commodity business and in total we all have more than 60 thousand shipments per month, so I think opinion will be close enough to the general situation!
RECOMMEND:
Of course, it is ideal to understand the full picture to study our materials from the closed club on the target "Farming Accounts" and "Antiban Architecture" at the link
https://t.me/reactor_team and take a lot of useful things from there:
In fact, everything is interconnected, but if you have built a clear system, then all FB storms will not be terrible.
How not to receive an RDA?
You can’t go to FB right now, especially on new accounts, you need a lighter approach to work and not to do a lot of active actions or those that may arouse suspicion - this concerns working with accounts, proper warming up, working with Fanpage, Aka plant and launching the first advertising
The problem of ZRD is there, but not as global as it is inflated by account sellers, I think everyone noticed how they raked up accounts with a passed RD ban, and without guarantees and exchange.
What schemes are currently working on Accounts:
I only name what I or my friends use
accounts (may already be purchased with completed ZRD) As soon as you knit more than 5 advertising accounts, triggers and ZRDs for almost everything begin, therefore 2-3 accounts optimally fly up to 30% in this scenario, but those who flew away to the ZRD also go out 50%
❌ Launch from a Personal Advertising Account, the favorite method of many who work with purchased accounts, now it seems to me that this option is dead, in addition to problems with IOS 14, 80% of these accounts go to ZRD after the launch of advertising and 20% after the $30-50 roll and we get the same thing that 50% pass within 4 days
❗But within a day of opening, they are covered by the next ban trigger and almost everyone flies off forever, since this is a personal account I didn’t say, everything looks like a random choice from FB for the time being, and until the end of May we will live in June and see! Therefore, I advise you to build your processes from the data that is available and receive bans less than
0003
facebook.com/ads/adbuilder/home/?act=1590545527899175 the principle is simple there, we create a layout and we can launch ads from it - it will be more lighter than immediately entering Ads 2. A common problem in your proxies (change sellers because you might just be sitting on the same pool) and anti-detection, if you constantly fly to the ZRD, change it
3. Do two-factor authentication
You decide which of the options will be beneficial, we personally work with manual farming
Facebook accounts are consumables
Without understanding this moment, you are most likely in the f*ck now, I’ve been repeating this for 1.5 years, yes, of course, I drown for long-term work and in white niches and I would like to work with one account all the time ... but the reality of work with FB another
As proof of my words, I quote the survey screen for May 18, 2021 / the problem is not massive, many have already learned how to respond to FB updates
And 38% of those who have tin and nuts, to be honest, 10% of them are fanatics, and if I had asked this question at any other moment, they would have answered that everything is "bad")))
Therefore, it is worth thinking about and understanding your work if you are one of those 38% people
How to get tested by the ZRD?
We have already talked about statistics for different work options and we know that those accounts that have gone to ZRD are now leaving about 50%, so think about work options in order to get less blocking
❗But also, it can also request mail instead of documents, then we use it and get the code (if the code does not come, see below, described what can be done), very rarely asks for a phone, but then if it is there, then we use the SMS receiving service
How to unlock if you caught checking documents
If accounts fly out for verification and this is normal, the main task is to submit a unique photo of documents (passport or driver's license) to FB, and the coincidence is not important, sometimes they even threw off a photo of nature and passed, but you can play it safe.
There are several options:
❗If he asks for a photo with a document, then one of the light hacks will be on Instagram in search of finding the hashtag #got rights and get a lot of material for work
With these options, you need to uniqueize for this, we take a photo from the PC screen on the phone and drop it into this bot https://t.
me/unikcreo_bot
✅ - I recommend ❌ I do not recommend
What is important when working with a file:
Having received what we need, we send FB, the check lasts up to 3 days
❗We send and usually pass, if not, I recommend replacing the photo with another one and submit a new one! If it doesn't pass, submit a driver's license or a marriage certificate instead of a passport
We can reuse those photos of documents on other accounts, but do not part and uniqueize again
Facebook does not send the code to the mail, how to restore?
If we get such an error, then this is most likely due to low FB trust in the account or a problem with the proxy, it might be worth changing the antidetect, what can we do:
if not, then you can do the following
❗Described the situations that arose with me and my friends, most likely knowing FB, you also had others!
Write in the comments what situations you had with the ZRD and do you manage to pass?
And also write your feedback on the material - it motivates
P/S To recommend, reconsider your work strategies since the problem is not massive

Hello friends! As the popularity of Facebook grows, so does the number of business pages. Recently I have been receiving a huge number of questions about how to get a blue checkmark for a page, i.e. verify the Facebook page .
The confirmed page looks like this.
Until recently, Facebook itself decided who and when will receive such a checkmark, but now the rules have changed a bit and now we have the opportunity to request page verification.
At the moment there are severe restrictions on the application. I will talk about this below.
Verification of a page or profile is needed so that people know that they are genuine. A blue icon appears next to the name of the verified page or profile.
Which pages and profiles can qualify for verification:
Celebrities and public figures;
Global brands and companies;
media.
Attention! The category "local companies" cannot qualify for the blue tick.
So, in order to make a request for page verification, follow this link.
Update for the most attentive: Look for the new link in the comments. Those who did not have the patience to read to the end, apparently, will be left without a check mark on the page ... BUT consider the fact that, despite the fact that this link will list all your pages, Facebook will not consider pages that do not meet the requirements, discussed below.
As an experiment, I tried to request a business card for a page with less than 3,000 fans and this was the response.
So far, Facebook is only taking the first steps towards a simplified verification system. For this reason, they do not accept applications to validate pages of companies, brands and organizations. Thus, only people-brands, media, entertainment and sports companies can get a tick so far.
