Some verified accounts are owned by a notable person, brand, or entity, while others are subscribed to Meta Verified.
  • Verified badges mean an account has been verified based on their activity across our products and information or documents they provide.
  • Meta Verified is a paid subscription that comes with benefits like the verified badge, enhanced support, impersonation protection, and more.
If you already have an existing verified badge based on prior requirements, you can still subscribe to Meta Verified.
We encourage admins of verified Pages and profiles to use two-factor authentication.
We verify an account based on its activity across our products and the information or documents provided.
A Facebook Page or profile with a verified badge next to it now indicates that Facebook has confirmed that it is the authentic presence for that person or brand. The verified badge used to require notability and uniqueness. You may still see users with a verified badge that represents our previous eligibility requirements.

Verify your profile or Page

Subscribe to Meta Verified to get a verified badge for your profile. Check the eligibility criteria for Meta Verified.
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.
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

We evaluate Facebook Pages and profiles based on several factors to determine if they meet our verification criteria.
Pages and profiles must follow our terms and Community Standards, and 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 (example: 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 you don't meet the criteria, you can still show your Page or profile is authentic in other ways.
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.
