Here, you&#8217;ll learn about the Verification process, Requirements for obtaining the blue checkmark, and Violations that can result in losing it. Then, you can apply for a blue checkmark on Twitter. Having a blue checkmark on Twitter means your account has been verified.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verification_process\"><\/span>Verification process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can get a Twitter blue check by proving you&#8217;re eligible for it. To do this, you&#8217;ll need to provide a picture of a government-issued ID and your official email address. The verification process can take up to a week. If you are not accepted, you can reapply after 30 days. But don&#8217;t get discouraged if your application is rejected. You&#8217;ve still got a chance to get approved, so follow these tips to improve your chances.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve successfully completed the verification process, you can add your phone number and email address. Twitter verifies users with these details so you can contact them. Verified accounts often belong to businesses or individuals. You also have to follow certain rules set by Twitter, like having no lockouts within the last 12 hours and no more than seven days. This way, Twitter can make sure that you&#8217;re a real person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_obtaining_a_blue_checkmark\"><\/span>Requirements for obtaining a blue checkmark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To obtain a blue checkmark on Twitter, you must be a prominent individual or brand in some area. You must also be verified by email and phone number and have logged in to your account within the past six months. Twitter may also consider your follower count and other factors. Accounts without profile pictures and ones without confirmed email addresses will not be verified. If you&#8217;re not sure if you&#8217;re eligible, visit the Twitter website for more information.<\/p>\n<p>To obtain a Twitter blue badge, you must be verified by Twitter. The verification process is quite rigorous and requires you to prove your authenticity. This means sharing your official website and email address. Your account must be active and secure. It can&#8217;t have incurred a Twitter violation within the last six months. Getting a blue checkmark doesn&#8217;t automatically guarantee you will get a blue badge, however. For these reasons, Twitter has listed the requirements for verified accounts on its website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_losing_a_blue_checkmark\"><\/span>Requirements for losing a blue checkmark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Verification policy from Twitter could spark a new round of controversy, especially considering the recent congressional pressure surrounding the Russian influence campaign. The new policy makes it clear that verification does not indicate endorsement. However, Twitter retains the right to revoke verification based on the content and behavior of an account. Twitter declined to provide further information or warnings about the new policy. But the new policy does seem to make things a bit easier for Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>According to a tweet from Danny DeVito on Thursday, the verified blue checkmark on his Twitter account was removed for a few hours and then was returned early Friday morning. The actor has about 4.1 million followers and many fans were worried that Twitter had ripped his blue check mark because of his tweet from August 18 supporting striking Nabisco workers. Although Twitter did not give details, fans are quick to point out that the tweet was not in support of a political party.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Violations_that_can_result_in_losing_a_blue_checkmark\"><\/span>Violations that can result in losing a blue checkmark<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a Twitter account, you may have seen the blue checkmark on your profile. Twitter will sometimes revoke your status or badge after a few violations. Violations of these rules can include abusive behavior, hate speech, misrepresentation of yourself or other users, and platform manipulation. The latest celebrity to lose the blue checkmark is actor Danny DeVito, but he seems to have received his blue badge back shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to robbing verified status, Twitter can also remove the blue checkmark from your profile if you&#8217;re inactive or have inactive accounts. The company also removes verification checkmarks if you&#8217;ve violated Twitter&#8217;s verification policy. Twitter will accept feedback on the new verification policy from December 8 and will reveal its new verification policy on December 17.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"475\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BroStONmp6E\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get a Blue Check on Twitter If you&#8217;re wondering how to get a blue check on Twitter, read this article!
