This article will explain how the Verification process works and explain the Rules for obtaining a blue checkmark badge. Also, we&#8217;ll discuss whether the process is permanent and open to a larger audience. Let&#8217;s begin! What is the Verification process? What rules do you have to meet? Which accounts do you need to meet to become verified? And, is it worth it?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verification_process\"><\/span>Verification process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Twitter&#8217;s verification process has been around for nearly a decade. People use it to determine who is worth following, but recently the company has made changes to their program. Now, verified accounts sport a blue tick in their profile. Listed below are the basic rules for verification. Listed below are the steps to become verified on Twitter. If you have any questions, don&#8217;t hesitate to ask them in the comments section below! We&#8217;ll get right to it:<\/p>\n<p>First, you can&#8217;t be an impersonator. Twitter doesn&#8217;t look at impersonation, nor does it factor into notability. So, even if you&#8217;re a prominent person on Twitter, you may not qualify for verification. If you&#8217;re a disabled activist, it&#8217;s particularly frustrating. However, you can try to change this by filling out a survey, or tweeting your concerns using the hashtag #VerificationFeedback.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rules_for_obtaining_a_blue_checkmark_badge\"><\/span>Rules for obtaining a blue checkmark badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are not yet verified on Twitter, you should be. You can apply to become verified by following certain rules. In addition, you must have a verified email address and phone number. Verified accounts are generally those that are active, have a good online presence, and are publicly searchable. Here are the rules to obtain the blue checkmark badge. Follow them closely! You can get verified in a few easy steps!<\/p>\n<p>First, you must have a Twitter account. The account you have to apply to has a profile name, an image, a confirmed email address, and a phone number. You must also have been logged in on Twitter for at least six months. You can reapply after 30 days if you were rejected. You must be registered in the United States and have a verified Twitter account. If you don&#8217;t have a verified account, you should not apply.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_permanent\"><\/span>Is it permanent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In May of this year, Twitter paused its verification process, only to resume it just eight days later. The company&#8217;s product team explained that this was an unfortunate oversight and vowed to fix it as quickly as possible. This was the first sign of the change in its verification process, and it is something to be cautious about. If you&#8217;re thinking about signing up for Twitter, verify that you&#8217;re not a robot.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Twitter&#8217;s verification process only required verified accounts to be public, which is the most common type of account. However, they recently expanded the criteria for verification, and added further information under the government category. Additionally, they have removed the blue tick from verified accounts if they change anything that might mislead others about their status, or fall under one of the categories that are considered &#8220;ineligible accounts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"289\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BroStONmp6E\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does Twitter Still Verify Accounts?
