Verify Facebook Account
You'll need a lot of followers, however, which isn't required for Pages. When you submit your personal Facebook profile for confirmation (which, from what I can see you need to do by contacting Facebook straight), Facebook (if seriously considering your request) will certainly get in touch and ask for records that can help show you are that you state you are, like a copy of your license.
I'll proceed and conserve you time with this one, and also strongly recommend producing a Web page for yourself and also try to get that validated; it will be substantially simpler.
How To Be Verified On Facebook
The process to apply for a blue badge is straightforward however, unless you are a public figure, media organization, or brand, you likely won't be authorized. Like with Twitter, you need to convince Facebook you deserve confirming.
To ask for a blue verification badge for your profile or web page, it requires to have:
- A profile picture
- A cover photo
- A name that follows Facebook's guidelines.
- Content posted to the account.
- "Follow" allowed if you're trying to verify a profile.
After making certain that everything fulfills the guidelines, head to this link and fill in the type.
If you're trying to confirm yourself as a person, you will require to provide a government provided photo ID. If you're attempting to validate a brand or media page you'll require to offer an energy expense, a certificate of formation, articles of incorporation, tax obligation files, or something else equally as official. You'll additionally require to add some details that shows why Facebook needs to verify you.
Facebook's standards are a little at odds with themselves. They state on the kind they will not verify accounts, but offer a choice to ask for simply that. They also claim they won't verify brand names, yet also claim they are just one of the few teams that can get blue confirmation badges. Like a great deal of Facebook policies, their confirmation one is nontransparent, so you'll simply need to use and see what occurs.
Unfortunately, I got rejected.

The Different Kind of Facebook Verifications
There are 3 different kinds of verification on Facebook: Accounts with a blue tick, Pages with a blue tick, and Pages with a gray tick.
Accounts with a blue tick are ones where Facebook has actually validated that the profile is the real account of the general public number it's claiming to represent. As an example, my friend Bryan Clark is the United States editor at The Following Web. You can see he has a validated Facebook account so you know that if you follow him, you're actually following him.
Pages with a blue tick are similar. Facebook has actually confirmed they're the official web page of the general public figure, media business, or brand name that they assert to be. How-To Nerd's Facebook page is verified, for instance.
Pages with a grey tick represent organisations and companies that Facebook has confirmed are real and who they assert to be. For instance, Trocaire, an Irish charity, has a gray verification tick.
Social network confirmation has ended up being a strange standing icon, however-- as Twitter has found out time and time again-- it's tough to do well. Facebook's system is just as opaque and also damaged, but there's nothing to lose by providing it a shot.
