How to verify my Instagram Account

Lately, Instagram has allowed us to request the verification badge.
Getting your Instagram verified account will certainly help your efforts, as a verified badge is a check that appears next to an Instagram account's name in search and on the profile. It means Instagram has confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the public figure, celebrity or global brand it represents.
 The blue verified badge is an important way for you to know that the account you are interacting with is the authentic presence of a notable public figure, celebrity, global brand or entity. Today we are enabling a new way for accounts that reach large audiences and meet our criteria to request verification through a form within the Instagram app.

Instagram will evaluate your account for “authenticity, uniqueness, completeness and notability” — the criteria it must meet in addition to abiding by the platform’s terms of service.

What do those things mean? Instagram defines an authentic account as one that “represent[s] a real person, registered business or entity.”

When Instagram demands an account be “unique” what it really means is that it intends to only approve one account per business or individual except in cases of “language-specific accounts.” 

Instagram does not verify general interest accounts.

To make sure your account is complete, it must be public, with a profile photo, bio and one post minimum. Importantly, Instagram stipulates that your account “can’t contain ‘add me’ links to other social media services.

Instagram requires that your account be “notable.”

So, now, clean up your profile, make it look good, and present your best Instagram face before you request your Instagram verified account and Instagram verification badge.

I hope this video helps you getting that coveted Instagram blue badge.
