Here’s a step-by-step process on how to request a verified badge on Instagram if you’re a celebrity, public figure, or a brand.
HOW TO REQUEST VERIFIED BADGE – This article will teach you how to request a verified badge on the platform if you’re a celebrity, public figure, or a brand.
Accounts with a verified badge next to its username means Instagram has confirmed that it’s the authentic presence for that celebrity, public figure, or a brand. Verified badges help users more easily find celebrities, public figures, and brands they want to follow on the platform.
This is different from a Meta Verified badge where only personal accounts can apply for this feature.
You may not change the username on your Instagram account once your request for verification has been approved. Also, verification can’t be transferred to a different Instagram account.
Keep in mind that submitting a request for verification doesn’t guarantee that your Instagram account will be verified even if your account is eligible for verification. Aside from this, verifying your Instagram account will not verify your Facebook account.
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to request a badge:
If you are a public figure, celebrity or brand and meet eligibility and account requirements, the first step is to make sure that you’re logged in to the account you’re requesting a badge for.
Once done, you need to tap the profile picture icon in the bottom right to go to your profile, tap the three-line icon in the top-right, and tap “Settings and privacy”. After that, you need to choose “Account type and tools” below “For professionals” and then tap “Request verification”.
The next step is to enter your full name and then provide the required form of identification such as official business documents or a government-issued photo ID. Once done, you need to follow the on-screen instructions and then tap “Submit”.
