Getting verified on Instagram is a great way to make your
profile stand out. The badge gives your profile a bit of prestige and helps
protect your brand from scandal. It may also help you get some more followers.
To get verified on Instagram, you need to meet certain
criteria. You must be an active member of the community, provide accurate
information, and follow all of the Instagram guidelines. You should also
consider your image, bio, and link.
Instagram offers a few options for getting your account
verified. One is paying for the badge, and the other is to apply for it on your
own. Both options may take a while to get approved, however. The badge makes
your account look more authentic and helps fans avoid getting ripped off by
scammers.
To get a verified badge on Instagram, you need to provide
proof of your identity. You'll need to upload a photo of yourself, or a copy of
your government-issued ID. If you're a business, you can upload a copy of your
tax filings, utility bill, or other official business document.
Instagram also offers the option of linking your account
from your website or YouTube channel. However, you should not make your account
appear to be a scam by linking it from your personal Facebook page or Twitter
account.
Instagram also has a search function to help you find
notable accounts. You can search for a verified account using the hamburger
icon located in the top right corner of the screen. You can also add up to five
links to your profile to show off your notoriety. You may also want to include
a link to your website or YouTube channel in your bio.
The best way to get verified on Instagram is to actually
apply for it. You can do this by logging in, clicking the hamburger icon in the
top right corner of the screen, and selecting Request Verification. You'll then
be prompted to fill out an application form. Once you've submitted your form,
you'll be asked to provide proof of your identity. If you're applying for a
business account, you can submit a copy of your business ID. If you're applying
for a personal account, you can upload a photo of yourself.
The most important part of the process is to follow
Instagram's guidelines. You should only create a profile that represents a real
business or person. You should also avoid providing false or misleading
information in your application. Instagram may reject your application or
permanently ban your account for misleading or inaccurate information.
The most obnoxious example is submitting a fake bio or
making false claims. Instagram only verifies accounts that are publicly
visible, and they may remove your account if they find false information.
However, you'll still be able to reapply after 30 days.
Instagram may not be as forgiving as Facebook. You may be
denied for lack of notable content, not having enough followers, or a slew of
other reasons.
