Your practical, plain‑English walkthrough to solve blue badge verification (meta verified) – requirements & how‑to — written for real people and small businesses.

Important: This website is not affiliated with Meta/Facebook. We cannot access your account. For sensitive actions (appeals, ID upload, billing), always use the official in‑app forms or the Meta Help Centers. Beware of anyone promising phone support or paid “unlock” services.

There are two paths to the blue badge: legacy verification for notable accounts and the newer paid Meta Verified offering in supported regions. Both require authenticity and compliance.

Eligibility & requirements

  • Authenticity: Real person or registered business with accurate info
  • Completeness: Profile photo, bio, posts, and active presence
  • Security: 2FA enabled; compliance with policies
  • Regional availability: Some features roll out gradually

How to apply

  1. Open your account settings and look for Verification or Meta Verified.
  2. Confirm identity with an ID and (for some flows) a selfie video liveness check.
  3. Ensure your display name matches your ID and public presence.
  4. For businesses: confirm legal entity details in Business Manager.

Tips to improve success

  • Consistent naming across website, press mentions, and social profiles.
  • Public content that clearly explains who you are and why people follow you.
  • Avoid policy flags; clean up impersonations by reporting fake accounts.

FAQs

Is Meta Verified available in my country?
Availability expands over time. Check directly in the app—if you see it, you can apply.
Will paying guarantee the badge?
Payment alone doesn’t override identity or policy checks. Requirements must still be met.
Can agencies verify me?
No legitimate third party can guarantee verification. Avoid offers that promise fast badges.
