How to Get Verified on Twitter in 2022
There are a few steps you must take to get verified on Twitter. To be eligible for verification, you must be a “notable, authentic, and active” user. To apply, you must have an official email address and website. You will also have to upload a photo of your government-issued ID. Once you have uploaded these, you must confirm that the details you filled out on the form are correct.
Applicant must be “notable, authentic, and active”
To qualify, an applicant must have a “notable, authentic, and active” account. For this criterion, the applicant must have an active, verified account that is cited by an established organization and that has a verified bio, profile photo, and a follower count that is within the top.05% of active accounts in the same geographic area. The applicant must be “notable, authentic, and active” according to Twitter’s guidelines.
Account owner must be “notable, authentic, and active”
Before you can get the blue verified badge, you must first prove your notability. To demonstrate your notability, you must provide a link to your company’s Wikipedia page, Google Trends activity, and a website that demonstrates your presence on the public stock exchange. In addition, you must have verified news references. This is a difficult requirement to meet, but Twitter does allow accounts from other industries to get the badge.
Minimum number of followers required
One way to increase the trust of your audience is to be verified on Twitter. Many brands and businesses strive for this blue verified badge. Many assume that they need thousands of followers to be verified, but this is not necessarily the case. In fact, many verified accounts only have 2,000 or fewer followers. Below are some strategies to achieve Twitter verification:
The first step is to request verification. Twitter requires an account with at least 6 months of activity before a user can be verified. Then, a user must wait 30 days before re-requesting verification. Upon denial, Twitter will send an email to the user explaining why it denied the application. Then, to be verified on Twitter, a journalist or news organization should reference their news org and link their Twitter profile to the official website.
However, Twitter has not made the process as easy as it once was. It temporarily paused the application process in 2017, but reopened it in May 2022. The process was painfully glitchy, and it caused an uproar in the online community. You can now apply to become verified by going to your account settings and clicking “Request Verification”.
Requirements for verification
In order to become a verified user on Twitter, users will need to provide their email address and a picture. The email address and picture must be from a company or organization, with a domain that is relevant to their category. Users can only become verified if they have a current active Twitter account. Verification will not be granted to inactive accounts, or those that are not active or incomplete. You can check the list of ineligible Twitter accounts here.
The new requirements for verification on Twitter will vary by category, but the basic criteria for verification will be the same for all users. Users will need to have a verified email address and a verified phone number to be able to interact with their followers. This means that they should have a verified phone number, or be part of an organization that regularly uses Twitter. In addition, they should be following Twitter’s rules, including not being locked out for 12 hours or seven days, and not engaging in harassing or trolling other users.
