How to get verified on Instagram 2021

Get Verified on Instagram

Tap the menu icon on your Instagram account profile (upper right-hand corner)
Tap Settings
Tap Account
Select Request Verification
Fill out the Request Verification form
Tap Send

Submitting the request form for your Instagram profile doesn’t guarantee a blue checkmark. After you fill out the form and send it, Instagram will review your profile and decide whether to verify you.

Instagram will get back to you within 30 days of submission. You can find the social network’s decision in your notifications center.

If your request is approved, the verified badge will appear on your profile. If your request is denied, you can apply for a verified account again after 30 days.

To become verified, your account must not violate Instagram’s terms of use or community guidelines. You also have to meet the following four requirements:

Authenticity. Authentic accounts represent real people and businesses.
Uniqueness. Only one account per person can be verified. There are some exceptions for language-specific accounts.
Complete. Complete accounts have a bio, profile picture, and at least one post. They are also public.
Notability. Notable accounts are well-known and highly searched for on Instagram. Alternatively, notable accounts can represent individuals or brands featured in the news, not including paid promotional content.

We recommend reviewing Instagram’s requirements and optimizing your account before you apply.

The first three Instagram verification requirements are within your control. Achieving notability, on the other hand, isn’t as straightforward. Having an established brand or high-quality mentions from other accounts can help with notability.
