Now, if you have managed to be popular on this platform, it’s time for you to move to another level, that’s why today we are going to talk about how to request a verified badge for Instagram profile, let’s see what it is all about.

What is a verified badge on Instagram?

A verified badge is a mark that appears next to the name of an Instagram account, both in searches and in the profile. Now, when a profile has a verified badge, it means that the social network has confirmed that it is the authentic account of a given user.

On the other hand, these Instagram badges are only awarded to public figures, celebrities, brands and of course, meet the eligibility requirements; as these profiles have a high probability of impersonation and therefore, no one else can have access to them.

How to request a verified badge for Instagram profile

So, if you meet the requirements set by Instagram, you can request a verified badge by first accessing the app and logging in with your account. Once you have logged in to your account, go to your profile, click on your profile picture in the bottom right, from there select the icon with the three lines in the top right and then click on Settings. Now select Account and then click on Request Verification.

When doing so, you must provide some information such as: your full name, your identity document (must have a photo) or passport and then you just have to follow the instructions that the platform will give you. That’s it! With this, your account will soon appear with a verified badge, very simple.

On the other hand, it is important to note that even if you meet the verification requirements set by Instagram, submitting your application is not a guarantee that you will be granted the verification badge; even if you submit multiple applications (be careful if you do this, as submitting multiple applications without receiving a response may invalidate the initial application, so wait for a response and try again).

Another aspect to consider is that once you receive your verification badge, you will no longer be able to change the username of your account or transfer it to another account. Also, having the badge for Instagram does not mean that you also have it on Facebook, so you must perform a procedure for each platform.

Finally, it is important that all the information you provide to Instagram is truthful, otherwise you will lose the badge and possibly even have your account deactivated.

As you can see, this procedure is simple as long as you comply with the established requirements and finally, take into consideration the additional security measures offered by Instagram, go ahead!.
