How to verify Instagram account (add a green tick next to the name)

If you've ever seen the green tick icon next to the Instagram user name and jealous because you don't have it, feel secure, you're not the only one. The following article will show you how to be verified on Instagram.

How to get verification for Instagram account?

First of all, it should be noted that this verification mark does not mean Instagram approves this account or advises people to follow the account holder. While not regularly managing verified accounts, Instagram says it will also revoke it if the account violates the regulations.

Celebrity account verified

To request account verification, open the application and go to your personal page. On Android, the 3-stripe icon is the Menu key in the right corner, which will bring you to the Settings screen below. On iOS, you select the Gear icon next to Edit Profile.

Then scroll down to find Request Verification.

Requires Instagram account authentication

Here, fill some basic information like name, photo by ID card and click Send and wait for Instagram to process and decide whether to approve it or not. If rejected, you can return it after 30 days.

Which Instagram accounts are verified?

Here are some criteria for authenticated accounts that Instagram provides. Your account must:

• Chính thực: tài khoản phải là cá nhân/doanh nghiệp có thật.
• Duy nhất: tài khoản không sao chép trang khác.
• Đầy đủ: tài khoản phải ở chế độ công khai, có đầy đủ ảnh đại diện, thông tin tóm tắt và đã đăng tải ít nhất một tấm ảnh.
• Có tiếng: tài khoản phải đại diện cho “người nổi tiếng, được tìm kiếm nhiều hoặc thương hiệu”.

Therefore, ordinary individual users will not be able to authenticate the account unless they build a certain reputation on this social network. Even people with millions of followers are not authenticated if they are not celebrities but have less than 200 followers.

To increase your chances of verifying your account, increase your ability to identify your personal / business brand. You can create and link to other social networking sites to attract more. One thing to note is that you should build a reputation on non-Instagram pages. In addition, inactive accounts will not be verified, illegal acts (such as tracking but not interacting ...) should also be avoided and this verification mark cannot be paid for.
