Now what? Are you curious about what&#8217;s involved? Read on to learn why a verified account is so important, how to get a blue tick badge, and what you need to do to get started. You might even be surprised to learn that it is completely free! Read on to discover how you can get your account verified and what it means to your online reputation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applying_for_Instagram_verification\"><\/span>Applying for Instagram verification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few things that you should keep in mind before applying for Instagram verification for free. The first thing to remember is that you can&#8217;t just submit your profile, you must be eligible for verification. Although Instagram does not reject verification requests based on follower count, they do give some reasons for disapproval. Once you submit your application, wait 30 days before trying again. If you have been denied more than once, you&#8217;ll be deleted from the service. Here are a few tips to increase your chances of approval.<\/p>\n<p>First, you should be famous. Instagram verification isn&#8217;t an easy feat. You have to be famous, highly searched, and well known to gain acceptance. If you post paid content, it doesn&#8217;t count. Second, you can only apply for verification once, and you can&#8217;t have more than one account verified. Language-specific accounts are an exception. Instagram has strict guidelines for applying for verification. Make sure you follow them!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_blue_tick_badge\"><\/span>Getting a blue tick badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want a blue tick badge for Instagram, you need to be active and have a good official profile. In order to get this badge, you should follow some simple steps: log in to your Instagram account and go to the settings section. In the verification section, you should choose &#8220;Request verification&#8221;. Fill in your full name, title, and an image of your ID card. If your request is denied, you can try again after 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Verified accounts appear at the top of suggested accounts and search results. Verified accounts are more likely to be engaged, which can lead to business opportunities. A verified account also shows the world that you&#8217;re an industry thought leader and produce a valuable commodity. When people see your verified profile, they&#8217;re more likely to follow you and engage with your content. Those who follow you will want to know more about your business.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_having_a_verified_account\"><\/span>Importance of having a verified account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are various advantages of having a verified Instagram account. For starters, your followers can be more likely to follow you if your profile is verified. Verification is only granted to those accounts that are unique and specific. Random accounts that share similar interests are not eligible to be verified. To be verified on Instagram, you must fulfill five requirements. Ensure that your account is related to an established personality, organization, or business, and follow the Community Guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>The verification process involves verifying your identity. To do so, you must submit a government-issued photo ID with your name and date of birth. In addition, you must have a utility bill and tax filings to show your business&#8217;s existence. If you don&#8217;t have either of these items, you will not be able to submit your application. You can try again after 30 days, but you will be denied if you apply multiple times.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_to_get_a_badge\"><\/span>Requirements to get a badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When submitting your Instagram account for verification, you must be an authentic page, a notable figure, or have a lot of followers. You can also get verified if you have a landing page or website. Getting verified will be faster if you can provide additional links, such as a landing page. But remember, it is not free! You&#8217;ll have to spend some time and effort to create a high-quality profile.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Instagram is rolling out badges to eligible creators in the US. But if you&#8217;re not in the US, you can apply even if you don&#8217;t have a business account. Instagram requires that you have at least 10,000 followers and a business account. It will also require that you&#8217;re following their rules and guidelines. Once you&#8217;ve met the requirements, you can apply for monetization.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9QznvW9VPNg\" height=\"238\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"425\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Can I Get My Instagram Verified For Free?
