If you are trying to get verified, you must make posts at least once per day and these must be public and relevant to your profile. If you just post cat pictures, that won&#8217;t do. The requirements to get verified vary for each person. Read on to find out how to get verified and how to categorize your account. You should also be able to post at least one photo a day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements\"><\/span>Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to getting Facebook verified is to provide official photo ID. Facebook has a list of common reasons why verification requests are denied. If you have a business account, you must submit official documents such as a company seal or signature in high resolution. You must also provide your full business address, a business license or a copy of your most recent tax return to Facebook. Once you&#8217;ve submitted the proper documentation, Facebook will verify your account.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from requesting verification, Facebook also requires that your account be public. If you don&#8217;t have a page, you can get verified by applying for a business account instead. You can fill out an application form on Facebook. It is simple and easy, but you need to meet the requirements. You must have an up-to-date profile, a page name that follows community guidelines, and an email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process\"><\/span>Process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get your page verified on Facebook, you should first prepare it well. If your page is not representing you personally, you will have to provide proof of the business&#8217;s original documents such as articles of incorporation or tax documents. Next, categorize your account. Facebook determines eligibility based on your audience and type. You must select the appropriate category, country, and region. Next, you must write a brief description about your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your industry, reputation, and outside media presence, your account may not qualify for Facebook verification. You will need to have a Facebook page and a certain number of fans and followers. If your page doesn&#8217;t have any of these factors, you won&#8217;t be able to get the checkmark. Getting a Facebook verified checkmark is a worthwhile investment, and it is worth every minute and effort.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Categorizing_your_account_correctly\"><\/span>Categorizing your account correctly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First and foremost, you must decide what kind of account you want to create on Facebook. You cannot choose more than one category. Select the category that best fits your interests. For example, if you are a public figure, you should choose the category &#8216;public figures.&#8217; Selecting more than one category will not help your account become verified. Moreover, Facebook will look for your notability in business.<\/p>\n<p>Fill out the &#8216;About&#8217; section properly. Provide details such as your business address, contact numbers, mission statement, company overview, and social channel handles. Facebook will verify your account if it has complete information. You can also upload photos of your identity documents, such as a driving license, passport, or business license. Once you have completed the steps above, Facebook will send you a confirmation message.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requesting_a_badge\"><\/span>Requesting a badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting verified on Facebook can provide several benefits, including increased exposure, credibility, and more. However, it is not available to everyone. For the most part, you will have to prove your legitimacy by submitting official seals and documents, such as a certificate of incorporation or articles of association. Other types of official seals and documents include tax documents, phone and utility bills, and more. If you are unsure if your account qualifies, consider contacting Facebook support and explaining your situation.<\/p>\n<p>If your business page requires verification, you can begin by setting up your business profile. Click on the settings button. This opens a new window. Select the &#8220;General&#8221; menu on the left side. Scroll down to &#8220;Page Verification&#8221; and select the edit or get started link. Once you&#8217;ve completed the steps, click on the &#8220;Verify&#8221; button in the bottom right corner. Then, follow the instructions to get verified.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signing_up_for_a_verification_program\"><\/span>Signing up for a verification program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you are in the process of getting your Facebook account verified, you might be wondering where to start. Facebook provides only a few categories to choose from, and if you&#8217;re not sure what you&#8217;re looking for, try choosing &#8216;Other&#8217;. Facebook will then review your profile and verify your account. Depending on your category, you&#8217;ll need to include an official photo ID.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to ensure your Facebook page gets verified is to use real-life data. You can find such data by using a social media monitoring tool. Basically, the reps of Facebook will review your profile and check out your demographics and psychographics. Make sure that your About page contains all the details necessary for your business. If you have multiple names, it&#8217;s better to use different names, rather than using only one. Facebook is also unlikely to trust a profile containing promotional links.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"427\" height=\"239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a54UxFosXNg\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Facebook Verified If you want to get Facebook verified, you must have a public profile with some public activities.
