    twitter account verification

    Twitter introduced account verification in 2009 and has verified many accounts since then. The blue tick beside your name on your Twitter account can let people know that an account is of public interest and authentic. Although Twitter has made that clear that a verified badge does not imply an endorsement by Twitter but still account verification invokes a trust value to your follower or customer if you are using a business account.

    Which Accounts Does Twitter Verify?

    Twitter verifies an account if it is determined to be an account of public interest which includes accounts maintained by users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, business, and other key interest areas.

    Why do You need to have a verified Twitter Account?

    Although Twitter has made that clear that a verified badge does not imply an endorsement by Twitter still it can be a good defensive move against impersonators. Back in the days, many celebrities have faced uncalled for problems because of something a fake account or impersonator posted. The authenticity of your account is a proof that this is your account.

    A few years back Twitter used to verify the accounts itself for celebrities. Now Twitter has gone one step further and allows you to apply to be Twitter verified and receive a blue checkmark badge next to your name. The procedure is quite simple and straightforward. The first step is to simply update your profile with current information, verify a phone number and email address, then fill out a form requesting consideration as a verified user.

    So let’s take it Step by Step.

    1. Complete your profile with profile picture, cover photo, name, website, and bio.
    2. Add a verified phone number and confirm your email address and Birthday
    3. Set your tweets as “public”
    4. Visit the verification form on Twitter

    If you are applying account verification of a personal profile as opposed to a business profile, you’ll also need a copy of a photo ID like a passport or driver’s license.

    You can improve your chances of approval by having a username that reflects the real name of the person or company. The account’s profile or header photo should also reflect the person or company’s branding, according to Twitter.

    Twitter says it will respond to all requests via email, and users who get denied can submit another request 30 days later.
