Twitter Verification Now Open To All
How To Complete Verification Process Form And Get Your Own Blue Check Mark
If you’ve always wanted one of those blue check marks next to your Twitter handle that verifies you’re not only truly legit, but also someone Twitter recognizes, you may be in luck. Twitter has just opened its verification process to the public – provided you’re willing to provide some very deanonymizing information.
Earlier, the Twitter verification was only given to celebrities, business accounts or other highly noted individuals. Now it seems, the company is looking for ways to allow any user to get their account verified with a blue check mark.
So how does one get themselves verified by Twitter? On paper, the process seems fairly straightforward. If you head over to Twitter’s account support page while signed into your Twitter account, you’ll find a section that allows you to request account verification.
The form is fairly simple to fill out but does require you to do a few things to your twitter account before you fill it out.
Phone number
Email address
A Bio
A Profile photo
A Birthday (for accounts that are not company, brand, or organization accounts)
A Website
Tweets set as public in Tweet privacy setting
If all these things are in place, then you are ready to fill out the verification request form found here. Again, don’t attempt to fill out the form before you’ve done these things or it’ll just kick you out.
Besides having those things in order, you also need to collect two or three websites that can confirm your identity. For example, a link to your Facebook page, Instagram or Tumblr would probably work. Or if you have a personal blog or other published material online. In addition, you will be required to submit a picture of a photo ID. If you aren’t super comfortable with Twitter having your driver’s license info or some other sensitive identification material, hang up your verifications dreams, because they definitely ask for it.
If you are cool with all that though, then you are ready to fill out the verification form. The form is very simple and will take only a few minutes. Once you’ve completed it, it then goes into a review queue.
There’s no indication of how good one’s chances are of actually being verified, but at least if you are interested, it gives you an opportunity.
