How To Be Verified On Facebook and Instagram??
Verified badges on Facebook and Instagram appear next to the Page or account’s name, as well as in search. This shows that we have confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the creator, public figure, celebrity or global brand it represents and helps people more easily find the accounts they wish to follow.Our verification team vets all requests thoroughly and bases their review on a number of inputs to determine whether an account is eligible to be verified.

Instagram accounts must follow our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Accounts must also be:

Your account must represent a well-known, highly searched for individual, brand or entity. We review accounts that are featured in multiple news sources. We don’t consider paid or promotional content as sources for review.

- Use the description in your Page or account’s bio to tell visitors about who you are.
- Use stories to provide a behind-the-scenes look into your life.
- Encourage your followers to tag you so people can see you interacting with others.
- Link to your Instagram account from your official website, Facebook Page, YouTube or Twitter account.
