Verified On Facebook
You'll require a lot of fans, though, which isn't needed for Pages. As soon as you send your personal Facebook profile for verification (which, from what I can see you require to do by calling Facebook directly), Facebook (if seriously considering your demand) will get in touch as well as ask for records that can aid prove you are that you claim you are, like a copy of your permit.
I'll go on and save you some time with this one, and also strongly recommend creating a Page for yourself and try to get that verified; it will be dramatically much easier.
Verified On Facebook
The process to apply for a blue badge is simple yet, unless you are a public figure, media company, or brand name, you likely will not be authorized. Like with Twitter, you need to persuade Facebook you deserve verifying.
To request a blue confirmation badge for your profile or page, it needs to have:
- A profile picture
- A cover photo
- A name that follows Facebook's guidelines.
- Content posted to the account.
- "Follow" made it possible for if you're trying to verify a profile.
After making certain that every little thing satisfies the guidelines, head to this link and also fill in the type.
If you're attempting to confirm on your own as an individual, you will require to supply a government provided picture ID. If you're trying to confirm a brand name or media web page you'll require to offer an energy bill, a certification of development, posts of incorporation, tax obligation papers, or another thing equally as authorities. You'll likewise need to include some information that reveals why Facebook must verify you.
Facebook's guidelines are a little up in arms with themselves. They claim on the kind they won't verify profiles, but offer an option to ask for just that. They likewise state they will not confirm brand names, but additionally assert they are among the few teams that can obtain blue confirmation badges. Like a lot of Facebook policies, their verification one is opaque, so you'll simply have to apply and see what takes place.
Regretfully, I got denied.

The Different Kind of Facebook Verifications
There are three various sort of confirmation on Facebook: Accounts with a blue tick, Pages with a blue tick, as well as Pages with a gray tick.
Accounts with a blue tick are ones where Facebook has verified that the account is the real account of the public figure it's claiming to represent. For example, my friend Bryan Clark is the United States editor at The Following Web. You can see he has a validated Facebook profile so you know that if you follow him, you're actually following him.
Pages with a blue tick are similar. Facebook has actually confirmed they're the main web page of the public number, media business, or brand that they declare to be. How-To Geek's Facebook page is verified, for example.
Pages with a grey tick represent services and also companies that Facebook has confirmed are real as well as that they claim to be. For example, Trocaire, an Irish charity, has a gray verification tick.
Social network confirmation has actually ended up being an unusual status icon, yet-- as Twitter has actually figured out over and over again-- it's difficult to do well. Facebook's system is just as opaque and also broken, however there's absolutely nothing to lose by offering it a shot.
