I recently just updated this article to reflect the latest changes to getting verified on Facebook. Enjoy! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahh, the blue checkmark. The one additional feature that your Facebook page can have over your friends’ pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, I get tons of messages about this. But is it worth it and will it transform your business<\/a>? and what are the steps to apply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting verified on Facebook<\/strong> (whether it is a personal profile or a page) is actually very simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I list the steps that you need to follow to get that highly sought-after blue verification badge<\/strong> to your name. (Note: the grey badge is no longer available)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to break it down into 3 parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How to get your personal profile or business Facebook page ready<\/strong> for the blue badge<\/li>
  2. Steps to apply<\/strong> via the Facebook form<\/li>
  3. FAQ<\/strong> – Benefits of being verified, length of approval and more<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You might be wondering if you need a lot of followers to get verified. This doesn’t seem to be the case as long as you can prove you are someone worthy of a blue badge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So read on to figure out how to get verified on Facebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are just looking for the verification contact form<\/a>, here it is. Good luck! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If that doesn’t work, paste this link on your browser<\/em>: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/contact\/295038365360854 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If that still doesn’t work, then your country isn’t eligible. This link works as of March 12, 2022 in the United States. <\/em>This is what it looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. How to get your personal profile or business page or profile ready for verification (Blue Badge)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    First, let me start by saying that not every page or profile can be verified, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similar to Instagram verification requirements<\/a>, Facebook states<\/a> that your account needs to meet the following 4 requisites to be verified. Your account should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Authentic<\/strong>: Your account must represent a real person, registered business or entity.<\/li>
    2. Unique<\/strong>: Your account must be the unique presence of the person or business it represents. Only one account per person or business may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. They don’t verify general interest accounts (example: Funny Memes, Rap Videos, etc).<\/li>
    3. Complete<\/strong>: Your account must be active and have an about section, profile photo and at least one post.<\/li>
    4. Notable<\/strong>: Your account must represent a well-known, often searched person, brand or entity. They review accounts that are featured in multiple news sources, and they don’t consider paid or promotional content as sources for review. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      While most personal pages will be fine meeting the first 3 requirements, the #4 one (notability) is the hardest one to achieve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It requires that you know how to get press for yourself<\/a>. (<–read that article to find out how). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
