What is a verified account?
Any account with a blue verified badge on their Twitter profile is a verified account.
Why does Twitter verify accounts?
Verification is currently used to establish authenticity of
identities on Twitter. The verified badge helps users discover
high-quality sources of information and trust that a legitimate source
is authoring the account’s Tweets.
What kinds of accounts get verified?
Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it
easier for users to find who they’re looking for. We concentrate on
highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics,
religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key
interest areas. We verify business partners from time to time and
individuals at high risk of impersonation.
We do not accept
requests for verification from the general public. If you fall under one
of the above categories and your Twitter account meets our
qualifications for verification, we may reach out to you in the future.
