Surely you have ever noticed the blue check that accompanies the profile of many singers, politicians, brands or, ultimately, that of famous people and companies on their social networks. But don’t worry, this is not something that is limited only to characters with millions of followers. Today we explain how to request verification of your Twitter account without being famous .
Verified Twitter account, what is it for?
The first thing you should know is the utility of this type of accounts with the blue check.
Just because one account is verified does not mean that it is better than another, that it has greater privileges or that, in the case of making money with it in some way, it will be paid more for its commercial actions than other users with the same number of followers .
This social network, like the rest, gives this emblem to certain users to verify , as its own name indicates, their identity . In the case of famous people, it is likely that there are a large multitude of accounts that try to impersonate their identity or, for example, simple fan accounts that repost and share the content of the official account. That is, Twitter gives the verified badge so that, after verifying its identity, it is known that this account is the official account of the person, brand or entity you are looking for.
Therefore, if what you were looking for trying to verify your account was fame and fortune, forget about that because little is going to help you.
What do I need to verify my Twitter account?
This is another of the big questions from users who want to carry out this process. The requirements and information you need to verify your account are the following:
- Documentation : when completing the verification process, this social network will ask you for an official document with which you can prove that it is really you. In the case of natural persons, it will be useful to send a photograph that is legible from the DNI or passport . For businesses, there are different documents that they can use to certify their identity.
- Use real data from your profile : another key point is that you use the appropriate information when making your request. By this we mean that your username is correct (whether you use your real name or your artistic name on the internet), your face or logo of your brand can be recognized in the profile photograph , and the data of your biography is representative .
- Social Interest Account : As we mentioned at the beginning, you don’t need to be famous or have millions of followers on your account for Twitter to decide to verify it. But, yes, from the social network they request that your profile have a minimum social interest in some area. Therefore, if you do not exceed 100 followers, to say a small number of these, it is likely that they will not consider your request.
This is the essential information you need to verify your account on this social network. In addition, Twitter may request a web link to certify your work when carrying out the process. Let’s see now what are the steps to follow to access the application form.
How to verify my Twitter account
The verification of accounts is something that this company activated years ago for public figures. Some time later, they decided to give the possibility that any user could request verification but, after the immense number of requests, they decided to close this form and this is their current status. But, according to the latest news, as we already told you on our website, it seems that the company is working to open the process again soon.
Of course, we will be able to access from our profile to the place where, we hope that soon, we will be able to fill out the verification form to send our request. You just have to follow the following steps from your Twitter account:
- Access the settings section of your account, which is symbolized by the icon of the three dots.
- Here, click on “Settings and privacy”.
- Now you just have to enter the path of “Your account” and then in “Account information”.
- After entering your password, you will access a menu that shows information about your profile such as username, phone, country, gender, etc. And just between these options you can locate the “Verified” , where the process will open. If you want to know everything about this section, you just have to click on “More information”.
Now we just have to wait for Twitter to activate the option to verify new profiles to be able to send our request. On our website we will be aware of all the news and we will inform you as soon as this option is available.
