Have you ever noticed a checkmark on celebrities social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram?
If not, the Twitter can help you to get one on your Twitter profile. You can apply to verify your profile at twitter and can receive a blue checkmark badge next to your name.
To get verified on Twitter, first of all, you need to update your full profile. Add current information, verify your phone number, email address and then fill out a form requesting consideration as a verified user.
Getting verified on Twitter will not only boost your feel-good factor but it will significantly improve trust and brand value on Twitter. In this post, I will show you how to get your business or brand verified on Twitter.
Steps To Get Verified On Twitter
To verify your Twitter account on Twitter, you would need to follow these steps:
- Complete your profile 100% i.e. add a profile picture, a cover photo, mobile number, email address, website, bio, and location information.
- Verify your phone number and email address.
- Add your date of birth.
- Set your tweets to “Public”.
- Visit request to verify twitter account.
Individual accounts that do not represent any business or organization will require a copy of the official government issued photo Id(eg. Passport, driving license) as additional documents for the verification.
Type of Accounts Verified By Twitter
An account which is meant for public interest may get verified by the Twitter. Especially, it includes accounts maintained by the users in the field of music, sports, acting, business, politics, government, journalism, media and some others.
Verification Request Form
You can submit a request to verify your Twitter account using this link – Twitter Verify
Denied Request: You can submit another request for the same account 30 days after receiving the email from Twitter. If you received a response from Twitter requesting edits to your account and/or additional information, you can submit another request anytime.

doesn’t apply to me but great information none the less!
Maybe you can request that at the later point of time. The good thing is – at least you know now that it can be requested :-).
thankyou 🙂
You’re welcome! 🙂

Yes, I did it while writing this post. But I don’t think my application will get approve by the Twitter at this point. Probably will try it again after few years :). Recently I read this somewhere that we can submit an application so just thought to add to my blog archive.
Sounds cool! I thought of applying just after reading this article. But changed my mind and thinking to wait for some time and apply later. All the best to you 🙂
Thanks Vishal!!
I love it when people come together and share
views, great blog, keep it up.
I get an error to “check again later”. Is there any form update or something. You forget to change?
