A lot of major brands, celebrities and even journalists are earning those ‘blue check marks’ beside their Twitter handles. Here at TweetBrander, we’ve had lots of people ask how they can get one on their profile.
A blue check mark indicates that a user has been verified by Twitter, to prove they are who they claim to be. However, the verified badge will only appear in the top-right portion of a user’s profile page. Just above the name, location, and bio.
So what kind of accounts get verified? Here’s the answer according to Twitter:
Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.
Why can’t I get verified? Again, here’s Twitter’s response:
If you think you meet the criteria for verification and have not yet received a badge, please be patient. We are working within key interest areas to verify accounts that are sought after by other Twitter users. We don’t accept verification requests from the general public, but we encourage you to continue using Twitter in a meaningful way, and you may be verified in the future. Please note that follower count is not a factor in determining whether an account meets our criteria for verification.
So if you want to get a pretty little blue check mark on your profile… well, good luck!
Stars get impersonated all the time on Twitter. It think it is B.S. that only people they seem fit get the checkmark. I think if you can prove that is you using the account then you have a blue checkmark.
Well that is why they have it. So it is not b.s. So we know it is not a fake account.
Get over it.
I don’t understand the part where the user has to be fit to get the check mark. Have you read Horror writer Stephen King or Bette Midlers twitter accounts? They have blue check marks and they say some of the worse foul things I’ve ever read about President Trump, his family and Trump supporters. Foul Language, threats, and straight out crazy. King could get our President killed with the hatred he spews. I’ve reported it to twitter only to find that twitter follows and posts comments of King. This is so totally messed up.
Agreed. Verification would be cool. I wonder what the process would look like though? Maybe like the process for AirBnb verification?
This as not helpful at all. What steps? What milestones need to be hit?

verify me immediately . hey @twitter
I want to be verified.
What process should i do to get verify badge on my twitter profile?
Be famous and the check will mean nothing! Where it is so important to you indicates you’ll never get one!
I got your point! Thank you! Cheers :)
I didn’t mean it like that sorry? They actually say in their rules that blue checks are given at twitters discretion. There is no rhyme or reason. It’s probably just so people can’t pretend to be others. We put such stock in people who sing and act that when they tweet it is so important. It just seems sad however the information like this page is incredible.
