How to get verified your Twitter account

Steps to get verified on Twitter

These are the steps to get your Twitter account verified:

1. Prepare your account to get verified

Twitter recommends you to optimize your account before requesting the blue badge, and this is what you must do in order to get it:

• Your Twitter avatar must be a real photo or the logo of your business.
• Use your real name or “nom de plume” as your name on this social network
• Add the link of your website
• Set your account as public
• Add a bio describing clearly the purpose of your account

2. Gather the information that Twitter will request to verify your account

Twitter will request some information before verifying your account.

• A reason for why your account should be verified.
• Documentation to prove your identity such as a driver’s license or passport.
• You must provide links to help demonstrate your identity like your webpage or the one of the business you represent.

You can include your documents in the submission form by taking a photo of your documents or scanning them to upload them to Dropbox. Get the link of the image and paste it in one of the fields for adding links.

3. Fill out the verification form

Enter this link: verification.twitter.com/request to find the form that you must fill out. Once there, you will have to complete the following information:

• Username
• Add link to at least two websites to verify your identity.
• An explanation of why your account should be verified in 500 characters maximum.
• Personal Documents

Some recommendations to successfully fill out the verification form:

• All the text should be original, avoid copy-pasting it from other places as it is going to be verified.
• Make sure your photo is clear.
• The document that you provide to prove your identity should be easy to verify.
• You must demonstrate that you have a good reason to be verified and that you have a career to support your submission, which you can confirm with mentions in the media, articles, etc.

Once you have completed the form, a summary of your submission will appear on the screen. Finally, you will receive a confirmation message saying that your application is under review. You will receive their final decision on your email after one or two weeks. They will approve or reject the verification of your account after reviewing all the information submitted.

If for whatever reason the verification of your account is rejected, you can always try again. Before doing so, make sure your account is properly optimized and meets all the requirements.
