You can no longer be excluded from Twitter if you meet certain criteria. You must verify your identity to maintain the verified badge. Also, make sure not to change your username after verifying your account. If you do, you will lose the verified badge. If you do change your username, you must re-verify it. Follow these steps to remain verified on Twitter.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Becoming_verified_on_Twitter_is_now_open_to_the_non-elites\"><\/span>Becoming verified on Twitter is now open to the non-elites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Becoming verified on Twitter is a great way to make sure that your followers don&#8217;t accidentally follow a fake account. It&#8217;s also a good way to ensure that you have a consistent and authentic profile &#8211; the verified symbol makes it easy to tell if an account is real or fake. Besides adding an extra layer of security, becoming verified on Twitter also improves the user experience. You can request to become verified as many times as you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, becoming verified on Twitter was reserved for influential users and other people with connections. But recently, Twitter opened the status to everyone, albeit with stricter guidelines. Even so, many of the 310 million monthly active users aren&#8217;t eligible for verification. However, you can still follow the verified accounts on Twitter without getting verified. Just follow these simple steps to make your profile verified.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter originally introduced account verification as a way to authenticate its users, it quickly turned into an elitist club. Those with the verified checkmark enjoy more privileges than their non-verified counterparts. For example, verified users get priority placement in newsfeeds and are included in &#8220;Who to follow&#8221; suggestions. Their followers can also search for hashtags that relate to their content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_must_confirm_your_identity\"><\/span>You must confirm your identity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To verify your Twitter account, you must provide your email address and website address or an official government issued ID. In addition, you must confirm the details on the verification form are accurate. After you submit the verification request, you will receive a confirmation email from Twitter. Your account will not be verified until it receives a copy of this ID and website. If you can provide these documents and websites, your Twitter account will be verified within a matter of days.<\/p>\n<p>Once you complete this verification process, you will receive an email from Twitter with your approval or rejection. Be patient and check your email regularly if you are not notified within a week. If you are rejected, you can try again in 30 days. If you don&#8217;t hear from Twitter within 30 days, you can try again. If you are rejected, it means that your account isn&#8217;t authentic.<\/p>\n<p>Verifying your Twitter account helps you avoid being a victim of scammers. Verifying your account also protects your followers from being scammed by unscrupulous users. To get verified, you must meet Twitter&#8217;s guidelines for activity. You must choose the appropriate category and provide proof of it, such as a government-issued ID or official email address. To verify your account, ensure that the photo is clear.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_lose_your_verified_badge_if_you_change_your_username\"><\/span>You can lose your verified badge if you change your username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to become a verified Twitter user, you need to keep several things in mind before changing your twitter username. For instance, changing your handle will result in losing your verified badge if Twitter finds out that you&#8217;ve intentionally changed your bio or display name. Changing your handle will also cause Twitter to suspend you if it suspects that you&#8217;ve been impersonating another user. Therefore, changing your Twitter username should be avoided if possible.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your Twitter username is a mistake that you should avoid at all costs. In the long run, it will make it harder to get verified. Instead, use a different handle for your account, and ensure that it&#8217;s not the same as the one you&#8217;ve had before. It&#8217;s possible to get verified again by changing your username again, but it&#8217;s best to stay on the same page.<\/p>\n<p>You can still maintain your Twitter account without losing your verified badge, but be aware that if you change your username, you&#8217;ll have to go through the verification process again. The verification process requires you to be an active user for six months before you&#8217;re eligible. Once you&#8217;re verified, you&#8217;ll be able to see your verified link in your account settings. If you&#8217;re unable to click the link to update your account, you probably don&#8217;t meet Twitter&#8217;s criteria.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BroStONmp6E\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"439\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Verify Your Twitter Account Verifying your Twitter account is now a possibility for everyone.
