Verified badges on Facebook and Instagram appear next to the Page or account’s name, as well as in search. This shows that Facebook has 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.
Facebook’s 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.
Eligibility
To be considered for a blue verified badge, Facebook Pages and profiles must adhere to Facebook’s Terms of Service and Community Standards, as well as have a profile photo, cover photo and a Page name that follows Facebook’s guidelines. Instagram accounts must follow official Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Accounts must also be:
- Authentic: Your account must represent a real person, registered business or entity.
- Complete: 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.
- Unique: Your account must be the unique presence of the entity it represents. Generally, one account per entity may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. We don’t verify general interest accounts (e.g. puppy memes).
- Notable: 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.
Bear in mind that if you provide false or misleading information during the verification process, Facebook will remove your verified badge and may take additional action to delete your account.
