What is the blue verification badge?

The blue Verified badge on Twitter lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic. To receive the blue badge, your account must be authentic, notable, and active. 

Authentic Accounts

To encourage and maintain trust between users on the platform, Twitter will ask accounts to confirm their identity with Twitter in order to be Verified.

You may choose one of three methods of verifying your identity:

• Official website: Provide the link to an official website that references you (or your organization) and your Twitter account.
• ID verification: Provide a photo of an official government-issued identification document, such as your Driver’s License or Passport.
• Official email address: Provide an official email address with a domain relevant to the notability category you choose.

Notable Accounts

Your account must represent or otherwise be associated with a prominently recognized individual or brand, in line with the notability criteria described below. In addition to confirming the identity of the controller of the account, Twitter will Verify the following types of accounts based on the criteria described. In all categories, Twitter may independently confirm qualifying affiliation through business partnerships or direct outreach:

• Government: Accounts of current key government officials and offices, including heads of state, elected officials, appointed ministers, institutional entities, ambassadors, and official spokespeople. Official candidates for state- or national-level public office may also be Verified in certain countries, where available resources allow us to do so fairly and equitably. To qualify, there must be a public reference to the account on an official government or party site or publication, or multiple references in news media. Official accounts of public utilities and other services may also be Verified, as may people in leadership positions and official spokespeople.
