How to Request a verified badge on Facebook Profile and Page ?

The verified badge means that Facebook has confirmed that the Page or profile is the authentic presence of the individual, public figure or brand that it represents. Previously, the verified badge also required the person or brand to be notable and unique. You may still see users with a verified badge that represents our previous eligibility requirements.

Verify your profile or Page

You can subscribe to Meta Verified to receive a verified badge for your profile. See the eligibility criteria for Meta Verified subscriptions.

You can also apply for the verified badge for a profile or Page if you are a public figure, celebrity or brand and meet certain account and eligibility requirements outlined below. You can fill in this form to verify your profile or Page.

Note: Meta Verified is available to verify profiles only, not Pages. Notable Pages can still apply for a verified badge. As we test and learn, there will be no immediate changes to accounts on Instagram or Facebook that are already verified based on prior requirements.

Requirements to apply for a verified badge

For accounts not subscribed to Meta Verified, we look at a number of factors when evaluating Facebook Pages and profiles to determine if they’re in the public interest and meet our verification criteria.

In addition to following our terms of service and the Facebook Community Standards, Pages and profiles need to be:

• Authentic: Represent a real person, registered business or entity.
• Unique: Be the only presence of this person or business. Only one Page or profile per person or business may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific Pages and profiles. We don’t verify general interest Pages and profiles (e.g. puppy memes).
• Complete: Have an about section, Page or profile photo and recent activity, including at least one post.
• Notable: Represent a well-known, often searched person, brand or entity. We review Pages and profiles that are featured in multiple news sources and we don’t consider paid or promotional content as sources for review.

If your Page or profile doesn’t meet the criteria for a verified badge, there are other ways to let people know it’s authentic.

For example, you can link to it from an official website, Instagram profile or Twitter account. You can also subscribe to Meta Verified to get a verified badge for your profile.
