How to Get Verified on Instagram?

Meta Verified is a paid subscription service for Instagram and Facebook that offers users a blue verification badge, increased visibility, priority customer support, and exclusive features like special stickers and monthly "stars" to support creators.

What does Instagram's blue tick mean? 

The Instagram blue tick emoji is a small blue check mark that appears next to a person’s or business’s name on their profile. It shows that the account is real and truly belongs to that person or brand. At first, the blue tick was only for famous people or big companies, but now Instagram also uses it to show that any account is the official one and not fake.

How to get verified on Instagram? (through app with 4 steps)

1. Go to the Instagram profile you want to verify and tap the three-line (hamburger) menu in the top right corner.

2. In the settings menu, scroll down and select Business tools and controls.

3. Keep scrolling until you find the blue Request verification option, then tap on it.

4. Fill out the form that appears to apply for verification of your professional account.

You’ll need to provide documents that prove both your identity (authenticity) and that you're well-known or influential (notability).
