Once verified, your account can appear as authentic and secure on the platform. Here are the steps to do this. To get verified, you must first go to your Instagram account settings page. In the Account settings, click on &#8220;Verification.&#8221; On the following page, you should upload your ID or passport photo and complete the form. This process can take up to 30 minutes and may take a while, depending on your Internet connection speed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dos_and_donts_of_getting_your_account_verified_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Dos and don&#8217;ts of getting your account verified on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to get your Instagram account verified, you must first submit a photo of a government-issued ID. For individuals, this could be a driver&#8217;s license or utility bill. For businesses, it can be an official business document, such as a tax filing. The verification process takes 30 days, and Instagram will notify you of its decision. If you have not received a decision within that time frame, you can resubmit your application. The verification process will be completely free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your bio is complete and effective. The more complete your bio, the more likely you&#8217;ll be accepted by Instagram. And don&#8217;t forget to include your real name in the bio fields. You can also include a photo of yourself with a legal ID to show that you are who you claim to be. Getting your Instagram account verified is simple, but remember to follow the guidelines!<\/p>\n<p>If you want your account to be verified, you should be consistent in posting content and engaging with your followers. Instagram favors active users. So, add new content frequently and make sure to engage with your followers. If you do not post regularly, you may lose your verification badge. If you don&#8217;t post new content regularly, Instagram will not recognize your account as genuine and might disqualify your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_your_account_verified_is_a_great_way_to_secure_your_identity_on_the_platform\"><\/span>Getting your account verified is a great way to secure your identity on the platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get your account verified on Instagram, you&#8217;ll need a government-issued photo ID. This can be a passport, national identification card, or driver&#8217;s license. Alternatively, you can submit a utility bill or recent tax filing to prove your identity. The verification process can take several days. After you submit your document, you&#8217;ll receive a notification from Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>To get your account verified, you must be a notable person or brand that has been searched heavily and has a following of a certain size. Instagram will never contact you for payment to get your account verified. Third-party applications cannot be guaranteed to get your account verified. Therefore, if you&#8217;re a celebrity, working with a publicist or public relations firm is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>To get your account verified on Instagram, you need to have a full profile. The account must be unique, have a profile photo, and be active on the site at least once. It&#8217;s also important to provide accurate bio information. Be sure to avoid using links that encourage people to &#8220;add me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_your_account_verified_by_claiming_to_be_a_celebrity\"><\/span>Getting your account verified by claiming to be a celebrity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Instagram verified badge makes it easy for people to find brands and people they want to follow. However, there are scammers out there who are duping users out of hundreds of dollars. For example, Chanel Lewis, a model, recently fell victim to a scammer who offered to verify her account for $50. The scammer then sent her doctored screenshots of NBC 6 anchor Jawan Strader that she could use to prove her identity.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram requires that you have an account that represents a brand or public figure. To verify your account, you must be a registered business or represent the same entity most of the time. You must also make sure that your account is public, has a profile photo, and is set to &#8220;public&#8221;. Lastly, your account must be active and maintained. This can be quite challenging if you don&#8217;t have an already-established profile.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a famous celebrity, a verified Instagram account can boost your chances of becoming recognized. However, it is important to keep in mind that verified accounts cannot advertise links to other social networks. You can, however, promote your website or other online destinations. You should also complete all fields in your profile. Otherwise, you may find yourself getting ignored by Instagram. But don&#8217;t worry, there&#8217;s a solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Your Instagram Verified If you haven&#8217;t already, learn how to get your Instagram account verified.
