DID ANYONE ELSE CATCH THIS NEW VERIFICATION PROCESS!? 👏 We hope this new step-by-step video takes you one step closer to getting that blue check. Let us know if you'll be applying in the comments.
Hi if im a rapper/musician artist do i put music as the category or entertainment? And do i use my gov id for that or do i have to show some proof of my artist name on document? Thank you so much hope to hear back.
Right?! It seems to be the word "verified" in the title, none of our other videos got hit like this. Trying to remove them daily, it's a whole thing. - C
@@Highseasonco im tryna get verified i have enough of a following to do so but i dont have any papers or nun since im a minor to provide instagram wit pictures
@@Dracoh It's not about following, it's about your major press links. You'd need to submit press to prove notability, from publications along the lines of Time, Forbes, CNN, Rolling Stone etc. If you don't have any ID then I'm not sure that it'll work for you, unfortunately, that seems non-negotiable. - C
@@Dracoh Correct. Verification is about notability and it's an indication that this is the official account of this important individual or brand. So essentially you need to prove that what you do is significant enough to warrant verification. A good comparison is a Wikipedia page. If you or your brand is on Wiki, you'll likely qualify for IG verification. Hope that clears it up. - C
Hello one question, I have 110k on youtube , and 220k ok Facebook , i was posted on a digital news paper you think I’m eligible for Instagram verification?? Because I don’t want to submit and be reget it 🥴
Hi! So you'd need 5 x major press links, so articles about yourself in major, globally-recognized publications. One digital newspaper wouldn't cut it, unfortunately. It doesn't hurt you to just apply and see how you go, you can apply once a month. Hope that helps - C
It’s been a challenge trying to get Instagram to verify my account because it doesn’t have a lot of followers yet. Hopefully these tips help. Thank you!
@@astolfo7869 Hi, not that I'm aware of, it's more to let people know that the account is the official account of that individual or business. Always keep 2FA on and use complex PWs! - C
@@astolfo7869 Hi, so they want your ID to verify the human behind the profile, even if the username doesn't match the ID. And it won't change anything, the handle and name section don't change at all so you're all good.
I have a good question, which account category can you used to apply verification on instagram for a business man or entrepreneur that runs a business.
Hi, just apply under whichever category is the best fit. There's like an Entrepreneur category. It doesn't impact being accepted, they only care about your notability via your press pieces - C
Thank you for the video! I'm curious what you'd recommend I submit if I'm still anonymous on YT and haven't shown my face or revealed my full name? I ran into an issue last week that lead me to this video
Hi! This is a tough one as they need to verify your identity. I'd suggest just sending your real name and real ID, along with all of your press links which should have your name (and potentially your photo) in them anyway. Best of luck! - C
I have a verified page on Facebook with nearly a million followers , I have a music video on TV and a Google knowledge but I still get rejected everytime I try to verify my Instagram, what could I be doing wrong
Hi, it could be the press pieces. They want to see 5 links with articles about you in globally-recognized publications (eg Forbes, Time, CNN etc). The followers and other verified profiles don't seem to count for as much, but I'd still suggest including the verified FB page link in the 5 links just in case it's helpful (put it last). - C
Hi Alan, if you're looking for verification help, you'd need to reach out to a publicist to generate the major press that IG requires to prove notability. - C

Hi Ramy, the only thing they typically care about is the press. If the 5 articles you have are extremely large (Forbes, CNN level), then you have a solid chance. It doesn't hurt to apply either way, if you get declined it doesn't stop you applying again in future. - C
Mine says this “Your account wasn’t verified because it’s fewer than 180 days old. You can submit another request in 30 days.” I haven’t gotten this one before I usually just get that I don’t meet criteria. So does this mean that I have finally met criteria and will be receiving verification badge when the 180 days is complete?
It seems like you'll need to request again, it doesn't read like a guarantee of verification. As long as you have your 5 links of major press pieces, you're in with a decent chance. Thanks for watching! - C
Good day when I submit it keeping loading forever any idea what might be the cause,I tried to reducing picture size and still not working ,it's been two days tried multiple times I just end cancelling cause it keeps on showing the loading icon only
Best bet is to work with a publicist to generate the major press pieces they require, along with a Wikipedia page. The verified profiles elsewhere don't really mean a lot for some reason, they're good supporting evidence but you really do need to prove your notability via press predominantly. - C
They should typically reply via a notification (alongside all other notifications). Keep trying, switch up the articles if what you have isn't working. - C
Hi Adrian, it all depends on whether you have proof of your notability. They want to see 5 pieces of major press in globally recognized publications, so if you have that, you have a chance. - C
One person specifically would need to apply on behalf of the band, so you'd need your government ID if you're the one applying. You'd also need the 5 major press links - C
It's essentially the same process as far as what you need to prove notability, and you can apply via the back end here: facebook.com/business/learn/lessons/verify-facebook-instagram-account - C
@@Highseasonco I'm an artist, I've Google knowledge pan, verified on youtube Spotify Anghami Boomplay and many others music platforms but whenever i try to apply automatically they deny me why ???
If I resubmit a verification because I made a mistake, one day after my 1st verification, and Instagram hasn't sent me a notification wether they've accepted it or not, does my 2nd attempt still count?
Hi, typically you shouldn't be able to submit again while you have a pending application, so that must mean your first one either didn't go through or was declined. - C
@@PeaceJemima did it let you still submit another one after your second attempt because I’m confused if my first submission went through that I did yesterday.
Hi Rozem, that would most likely be because your press wasn't large enough. You need press pieces from 5 globally-recognized publications, and if you don't have those then you may need to work with a publicist to generate those. - C
There wouldn't be a higher chance to be verified with having music on the platform, no. You need to prove notability, so they want to see major press, Wikipedia and other verified social profiles. - C
What an awesome video…what I liked about it is that she is realistically encouraging and down to earth in helping others achieve something that almost seems impossible unless you are globally famous…thank you again.😊😊😊
Thanks so much for the kind words, James! Hopefully it encourages more people to apply, and improve their media presence in the meantime :) Thanks for watching! - C
@@Highseasonco Absolutely and of course. I do happen to have a few questions I'd like to ask to seek your respectable opinion. Regarding links, do sources such as IMDb, official websites, Rotten Tomatoes, Movie Reviews help? Should Actors list their notability account category under "Entertainment" or another category? Are Driver's Licenses and Passports the strongest Document Types? My middle name is on both, but my stage name is just my first and last name without my middle name. I've explained that before, and I want to ensure what I am saying or describing is strong. Finally, for the Audience (Optional) section, is it ok to say that it's friends and fans that follow my account? Thanks again for your help. I am truly grateful.
@@jburlesonactor I would imagine IMDb would help but the rest not so much. They want to see major press, Wikipedia page and other verified social platforms. Entertainment sounds good for an actor. Drivers license and passports are perfect. And yes, for Audience, that's perfect. Stick to more fans than friends. Hope that helps! - C
@@Highseasonco , yes this is exceptionally helpful. I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I'm very thankful. Thank you again.
I don’t understand, I’m a published author and I applied and attached the links to my book and my author bio and they still rejected me. I saw another video that said authors are more likely to get verified and I got nothing.
From our understanding, you need to prove notability, not that you do a certain thing. They want to see 5 links to major, globally-recognized press, so just include those next time you apply. - C
Thanks so much for the super helpful video! I have two questions: 1. On "Full Name", do I enter my artist name or the name on my ID? 2. If I have a minor following on one social account but a good one on the others, should I still mention the account with the minor following or would that negatively impact the whole presence?
Hi Nico, our pleasure, thanks for watching! 1. Put the name on your ID 2. That's up to you. Obviously it's better to include major press vs an account with a small following, but do note that the following itself isn't taken into consideration. - C
@@Highseasonco Thanks so much for the fast reply and the info! So I saw that there's only 5 slots available for links, but I have 8 articles about me from different media and I'm represented in multiple social media accounts. Which combination of articles/social accounts would you reccomend for the 5 slots?
@@NicoGrundMusic Pleasure! So unless you have strong followings or are verified on the other social accounts, the articles would hold much more weight. Good luck! - C
Thank you for sharing this. I’m new to this world but have been on tiktok march 2020. My account blew up this past November. I’m talking 220 followers to over 513k in just over a week.
Congrats on the growth! IG are looking for articles in major publications about you, the followers wouldn't be enough to land the verification. Your best bet would be to work with a publicist to generate the links you need to submit. Best of luck! - C
Hi guys! Thank you for this great video. I have a bit of an unusual question. We have about 30 articles mentioning us and numerous celebrities and influencers wearing our product, but how to link them if 5 links is maximum when filling in IG verification form? Should we send google drive link or will it lead to us getting denied? Or should we choose 5 the most relevant ones? Thanks!
Hi Mariia, so you only need to submit 5, I'd suggest submitting the 5 biggest ones. They want to see globally-recognized publications (Forbes, CNN, Time etc) so avoid any small outlets and focus on the large ones. Good luck! - C
It’s only easier if you have 10k + followers. You can legitimately have all other requirements fulfilled and still not get verified because your following on the platform isn’t over 10k, also the algorithm is lowering everyone’s reach.
I'd disagree with that, I've seen many accounts verified with under 10k followers. All that matters is your notability, which they measure via major press pieces. - C
@@ArmyGideonTV Correct. It needs to be globally-known, and likely mostly American. Eg Forbes, CNN, Time, Rolling Stone, ESPN etc. Smaller publications don't count. - C
You're welcome. No, verification is about notability, not follower count. You need 5 links to major press pieces about you and your work to qualify. Hope that helps! - C
Is there a vid of getting verified on instagram, when you do it from a PC? I've noticed that the menu on smartphone and pc are highly different and like a maze, to find back that verification option.
Hi Mohammad, they want to see multiple links to major globally-recognized press to prove notability. Best bet would be to work with a publicist to generate the links they want to see. Best of luck - C
@@mohammadrasekh9587 It depends on your niche, but major publications like CNN, ESPN, FOX, Time Magazine etc. You need to prove that you're notable and one way they do this is by looking at the major press pieces you have. - C
OK. Looks like it’s pretty much the same process as Facebook. However, we have been unable to get Facebook to verify our account. We have over 150,000 fans on our trademarked clothing brand. They used to only ask for articles of incorporation which we have always provided and they always said that they were unable to verify. We also provided a copy of our trademark that is on file with US PTO. I saw recently that they also asked for links and such so we provided those as well. We have found multiple pages on Facebook pretending to be us and using our profile photo. So it is imperative that we get a verified account with this number of fans that we have. Any idea what else we could do here? We have followed all of the steps and have a pretty substantial following on Facebook already. Not sure why they keep saying that they cannot verify our identity after providing the articles of incorporation and the trademark.
I found this: facebook.com/help/1288173394636262. So just like Instagram, Facebook requires the brand to be notable and uses things like a Wikipedia page and multiple organic major press pieces for proof. If there's an open field where you can provide links to fake accounts pretending to be you, that could be helpful to get this across the line. - C
Hi there!!!! Thank you for this video! I am going to begin the verification process very shortly and your video was SO HELPFUL!!!!!! I have a question but really it’s really clarifying so I really understand this. So would I use driver’s license then if I have like a website??? Or how did that work again?? That’s pretty much the only question I got but other than that, this was explained perfectly!!!! ❤❤❤
Hi! So yes you need photo ID, a driver's license or passport would suffice. As long as you have 5 links to major, globally recognized press pieces about you in publications like Forbes, CNN, Time etc, then you should be good to go :) - C
Hi, yes that's fine, it's probably the most common scenario. What's most important is that you have 5 major press pieces from globally-recognized publications. - C
Hi, we actually haven't used Meta Verified (this video is about notable verification) but I imagine you'd provide a credit card when you sign up, which could be the one on file for ads, that would make a lot of sense actually - C
Hey! I'm a musician. I use an artist name that different than my real name. Would it be a problem for me to pitch with ID or passport? And in the full name section, should I use my real name or artist name? Does the amount of the submissions can effect your future pitching? And my insta username is different than my artist name (I using my real name) I only using my artist name in the bio name, would it be a problem? Many thanks!
Hey! No that's fine, just put your real name that matches your ID in the full name section. Since you're essentially trying to prove notability, if you submit new links every time then I can't see that being a problem. No problem re your name being different, they just want your real name to match your ID. Good luck! - C
Guys, be careful. After submitting the form, you may get contacted by email by a scammer. Always check the email address for authenticity. I almost got into that. 💙
Hi Brett, we're just a social media agency so we can't help with PR. You could find a publicist in your niche via Google or colleagues in your industry. Best of luck! - C
Very Decieving what you wrote. I looked you up and you are an important Figure. They will not give you that Blue check if you dont have some notable type brand or name and Sandra You do.90% will not get approved.
@@knos360 It's 100% true. After watching the video I did the steps they described and I got a blue check mark and I have a notable account. I never claimed that Instagram will give verification to accounts that are not notable.
Hi Billy, you shouldn't see anything right away, you'll get a response via your notifications within the next 30 days (usually sooner). Best of luck - C
Hi Kim, you're welcome! A Spotify link wouldn't really get you closer to verification as they need to prove notability, and they do that via major press links, so I'd suggest to focus on that. - C
Do you think it’s normal to receive an email saying your verification process is pending? And the email asks for something specific to verify your account?
A few folks have said that. It typically says that you've submitted it, but worst case, you can contact their Help chat and ask them to be sure: facebook.com/business/help/support
I have a question, does your account have to be public to get verified? My account is private and I will like to get verify but I don’t want to put it public.
@@microwavedmetal Without the major press, it's pretty unlikely you'll succeed but you can always work with a publicist in your niche to see if they can help! - C
In the describe who follows you section... I have 3 verified accounts that follow me. One of which make music with//have pictures with. I simply just list them with a reason for their following? In the links section would i send them to the songs I have collaborated with them on?
That wouldn't really be it, it's just the types of people who follow you. Eg if you're a painter, your audience would likely be art enthusiasts. In the links, you need to include 5 links of major worldwide press about you. So your articles in Forbes, Time, CNN etc. - C

@@Highseasonco I don’t know any publicists lol oh well I’ll just give up I suppose thanks for replying though
@@Datboyyjai You can find them on Google!
Is there any limit to how often, how many times, you can apply or get rejected?
Hi Sal, not that we're aware of, I've never seen any issues with a finite number of applications. - C
I am still working on it, very hard even with the 4-5 notoriety articles I have lol. I don't even get responses whenever I do apply.
They should typically reply via a notification (alongside all other notifications). Keep trying, switch up the articles if what you have isn't working. - C
I don't have account on my settings. Where do I go?
Hi, that's the only place it lives in the app. Perhaps it's not available where you are, or it's a glitch. - C
I am a new subscriber and I love your content and how you gave the detailed explanation, keep it up 👏👏
Thanks so much for the kind words, welcome! - C
Ya...true.....
Do you think I can get verified?😭
Hi Adrian, it all depends on whether you have proof of your notability. They want to see 5 pieces of major press in globally recognized publications, so if you have that, you have a chance. - C
@@Highseasonco would you mind helping me?
@@adrian_playz We're unable to assist, if you don't have the publications then you can reach out to a publicist. - C
@@Highseasonco would you mind helping me since idk how do you find a publicist😢
@@adrian_playz That's not something we can do, but you could ask a colleague in your industry for a referral or check Google - C
This is a dope video. I’m definitely not famous enough in any way to be verified but still, another quality video 👌🏾
Thanks for watching, Robert! Keep grinding and you'll get there. - C
Hi what documentation would I use if it’s a musical band?
One person specifically would need to apply on behalf of the band, so you'd need your government ID if you're the one applying. You'd also need the 5 major press links - C
Nice tip. Nice looking video!
Thanks Stef! Means a lot coming from the video production master ;)
The amount of bots above me
👋
what document should we select for a music band?
Hi, they want your personal ID so just submit a driver's license or passport from the person applying. - C
@@Highseasonco Thanks
2:30 _ video starts
Do Facebook
It's essentially the same process as far as what you need to prove notability, and you can apply via the back end here: facebook.com/business/learn/lessons/verify-facebook-instagram-account - C
@@Highseasonco I'm an artist, I've Google knowledge pan, verified on youtube Spotify Anghami Boomplay and many others music platforms but whenever i try to apply automatically they deny me why ???
What if you have two Instagram I have a backup account an I have a business account
The backup account is very unlikely to get verified, I'd focus on your main account. - C
If I resubmit a verification because I made a mistake, one day after my 1st verification, and Instagram hasn't sent me a notification wether they've accepted it or not, does my 2nd attempt still count?
Hi, typically you shouldn't be able to submit again while you have a pending application, so that must mean your first one either didn't go through or was declined. - C
@@Highseasonco yes, so my 2nd one went through though, right? Cause I'm so confused
@@PeaceJemima It's highly likely that it did. You could wait a few weeks and try again if you don't hear anything - C
@@PeaceJemima did it let you still submit another one after your second attempt because I’m confused if my first submission went through that I did yesterday.
Thank you so much my Sista🙏🏽 This video was so helpful!
Thanks for watching! - C
But did u get verified tho
@@Bonny228 no he didn’t I just checked lol
Help me to verify my Instagram account pls
Help me to verify my Instagram account pls
I wasn’t successful turn down twice now😢
Hi Rozem, that would most likely be because your press wasn't large enough. You need press pieces from 5 globally-recognized publications, and if you don't have those then you may need to work with a publicist to generate those. - C
If you have music uploaded in Instagram and Facebook Music is there a higher chance to be verified?
There wouldn't be a higher chance to be verified with having music on the platform, no. You need to prove notability, so they want to see major press, Wikipedia and other verified social profiles. - C
This is terrific. Thank you 🌻
Thanks for watching, Marianne! - C
I've submitted my request about 3 weeks ago, still waiting for the great news. 😬
Best of luck! - C
Hello! I have a question:
What document should is best to upload since we are a music band?
Hi, they want the ID of the person applying, so your drivers license will be fine. - C
Can I apply for verification in a new account
I believe it has to be at least 90 or 120 days old to apply, it should tell you when you apply if it's too early. - C
@@Highseasonco seriously if I apply some weeks after opening the account they will tell me too?
@@DJKelblizz Yes indeed, I've seen it before, they tell you it's too early to apply and to try again once your account is x days old. - C
@@Highseasonco guess I’ll try next month, but with ID card is best used for verification process
What an awesome video…what I liked about it is that she is realistically encouraging and down to earth in helping others achieve something that almost seems impossible unless you are globally famous…thank you again.😊😊😊
Thanks so much for the kind words, James! Hopefully it encourages more people to apply, and improve their media presence in the meantime :) Thanks for watching! - C
@@Highseasonco Absolutely and of course. I do happen to have a few questions I'd like to ask to seek your respectable opinion. Regarding links, do sources such as IMDb, official websites, Rotten Tomatoes, Movie Reviews help? Should Actors list their notability account category under "Entertainment" or another category? Are Driver's Licenses and Passports the strongest Document Types? My middle name is on both, but my stage name is just my first and last name without my middle name. I've explained that before, and I want to ensure what I am saying or describing is strong. Finally, for the Audience (Optional) section, is it ok to say that it's friends and fans that follow my account? Thanks again for your help. I am truly grateful.
@@jburlesonactor I would imagine IMDb would help but the rest not so much. They want to see major press, Wikipedia page and other verified social platforms. Entertainment sounds good for an actor. Drivers license and passports are perfect. And yes, for Audience, that's perfect. Stick to more fans than friends. Hope that helps! - C
@@Highseasonco , yes this is exceptionally helpful. I very much appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I'm very thankful. Thank you again.
@@jburlesonactor Pleasure James, thanks for watching :) - C
thank u so much love ur presant good job great content very helpful
Thanks for watching! - C
This was so helpful! I work for a museum, and we're trying to get verified.
So welcome! Include all of the major press that the university has received and hopefully it'll go through :) Thanks for watching! - C
I don’t understand, I’m a published author and I applied and attached the links to my book and my author bio and they still rejected me. I saw another video that said authors are more likely to get verified and I got nothing.
From our understanding, you need to prove notability, not that you do a certain thing. They want to see 5 links to major, globally-recognized press, so just include those next time you apply. - C
Thanks so much for the super helpful video! I have two questions:
1. On "Full Name", do I enter my artist name or the name on my ID?
2. If I have a minor following on one social account but a good one on the others, should I still mention the account with the minor following or would that negatively impact the whole presence?
Hi Nico, our pleasure, thanks for watching!
1. Put the name on your ID
2. That's up to you. Obviously it's better to include major press vs an account with a small following, but do note that the following itself isn't taken into consideration. - C
@@Highseasonco Thanks so much for the fast reply and the info!
So I saw that there's only 5 slots available for links, but I have 8 articles about me from different media and I'm represented in multiple social media accounts. Which combination of articles/social accounts would you reccomend for the 5 slots?
@@NicoGrundMusic Pleasure! So unless you have strong followings or are verified on the other social accounts, the articles would hold much more weight. Good luck! - C
@@Highseasonco Thank you so much for the helpful info, really appreciate it!
What about if my name artist name is trademarked ? I still have to put my government?
Thank you for sharing this. I’m new to this world but have been on tiktok march 2020. My account blew up this past November. I’m talking 220 followers to over 513k in just over a week.
Congrats on the growth! IG are looking for articles in major publications about you, the followers wouldn't be enough to land the verification. Your best bet would be to work with a publicist to generate the links you need to submit. Best of luck! - C
Hi guys! Thank you for this great video. I have a bit of an unusual question. We have about 30 articles mentioning us and numerous celebrities and influencers wearing our product, but how to link them if 5 links is maximum when filling in IG verification form? Should we send google drive link or will it lead to us getting denied? Or should we choose 5 the most relevant ones? Thanks!
Hi Mariia, so you only need to submit 5, I'd suggest submitting the 5 biggest ones. They want to see globally-recognized publications (Forbes, CNN, Time etc) so avoid any small outlets and focus on the large ones. Good luck! - C
@@Highseasonco Thank you so much for your help! X
It’s only easier if you have 10k + followers. You can legitimately have all other requirements fulfilled and still not get verified because your following on the platform isn’t over 10k, also the algorithm is lowering everyone’s reach.
I'd disagree with that, I've seen many accounts verified with under 10k followers. All that matters is your notability, which they measure via major press pieces. - C
@@Highseasonco Interesting. So as long as press coverage of the creator is big enough they will allow it? What is a reputable source to them?
@@ArmyGideonTV Correct. It needs to be globally-known, and likely mostly American. Eg Forbes, CNN, Time, Rolling Stone, ESPN etc. Smaller publications don't count. - C
Thanks for the informative information. Question? Do you have to have a lot of followers in order to get Verified
You're welcome. No, verification is about notability, not follower count. You need 5 links to major press pieces about you and your work to qualify. Hope that helps! - C
My acct is actually a fan page. But I am saying as an editor. Is there a way my account can get verified
Hi, as long as you have at least 5 major press pieces to prove your notability, you can apply - C
Interesting! Thank you for sharing.
So welcome, thanks for watching, Sandra and John! - C
Thx this not fake guys
Is there a vid of getting verified on instagram, when you do it from a PC?
I've noticed that the menu on smartphone and pc are highly different and like a maze, to find back that verification option.
Hi, you can only apply from the app on a phone, I don't believe it works on the desktop - C
Thanks for information. Keep it up!
Pleasure, thanks for watching! - C
bro I apply with all requested documents and provide links and I get rejected within minutes. Any idea why? Please help. Thanks.
Hi Mohammad, they want to see multiple links to major globally-recognized press to prove notability. Best bet would be to work with a publicist to generate the links they want to see. Best of luck - C
@@Highseasonco like what bro?
@@mohammadrasekh9587 It depends on your niche, but major publications like CNN, ESPN, FOX, Time Magazine etc. You need to prove that you're notable and one way they do this is by looking at the major press pieces you have. - C
Damn ! u were so helpful Thank You so much ❤❤
Thanks so much for watching, Jeremy! - C
OK. Looks like it’s pretty much the same process as Facebook. However, we have been unable to get Facebook to verify our account. We have over 150,000 fans on our trademarked clothing brand. They used to only ask for articles of incorporation which we have always provided and they always said that they were unable to verify. We also provided a copy of our trademark that is on file with US PTO. I saw recently that they also asked for links and such so we provided those as well. We have found multiple pages on Facebook pretending to be us and using our profile photo. So it is imperative that we get a verified account with this number of fans that we have. Any idea what else we could do here? We have followed all of the steps and have a pretty substantial following on Facebook already. Not sure why they keep saying that they cannot verify our identity after providing the articles of incorporation and the trademark.
I found this: facebook.com/help/1288173394636262. So just like Instagram, Facebook requires the brand to be notable and uses things like a Wikipedia page and multiple organic major press pieces for proof. If there's an open field where you can provide links to fake accounts pretending to be you, that could be helpful to get this across the line. - C
Thank you you straight to the point🤙
So welcome, thanks for watching - C
Hi i am a writter and content creater and dont use my real last name what is the best option for me to apply ? Thank you so much
Hi, you can just apply with the press pieces that you have, as long as the press matches your account you're fine - C
@Highseasonco hi what of I am a beginner ..
Writer
Hi there!!!! Thank you for this video! I am going to begin the verification process very shortly and your video was SO HELPFUL!!!!!! I have a question but really it’s really clarifying so I really understand this. So would I use driver’s license then if I have like a website??? Or how did that work again?? That’s pretty much the only question I got but other than that, this was explained perfectly!!!! ❤❤❤
Hi! So yes you need photo ID, a driver's license or passport would suffice. As long as you have 5 links to major, globally recognized press pieces about you in publications like Forbes, CNN, Time etc, then you should be good to go :) - C
@@Highseasonco thank you! So I was on CBS TV Show Undercover Boss, and Spectrum News 13. What would that fall under the category of??? :)
@@pastichegraham If you have articles about you on those shows, that would help! - C
My user name isn’t my government name.
Can I still get verified without trademark for username?
Hi, yes that's fine, it's probably the most common scenario. What's most important is that you have 5 major press pieces from globally-recognized publications. - C
@@Highseasonco Thank you!
Love this channel 🔥
Thank you so much! - C
Where is the payment processed? Does it go to the credit card on file for ads?
Hi, we actually haven't used Meta Verified (this video is about notable verification) but I imagine you'd provide a credit card when you sign up, which could be the one on file for ads, that would make a lot of sense actually - C
Hey! I'm a musician. I use an artist name that different than my real name. Would it be a problem for me to pitch with ID or passport? And in the full name section, should I use my real name or artist name? Does the amount of the submissions can effect your future pitching? And my insta username is different than my artist name (I using my real name) I only using my artist name in the bio name, would it be a problem? Many thanks!
Hey! No that's fine, just put your real name that matches your ID in the full name section. Since you're essentially trying to prove notability, if you submit new links every time then I can't see that being a problem. No problem re your name being different, they just want your real name to match your ID. Good luck! - C
@@Highseasonco Thank a lot! I'm really appreciate that!!! Your information is really helpful!
@@Ohadattia7 So welcome, thanks for watching! - C
Guys, be careful. After submitting the form, you may get contacted by email by a scammer. Always check the email address for authenticity. I almost got into that. 💙
That's true - Instagram doesn't ever send any links or emails, they ONLY notify you in the notifications. Thanks for adding that :) - C
@@Highseasonco And, also wanted to add, the verification mark is not paid. You should not be charged any money for the mark!
Hi there! Do you guys do PR work for articles, etc? Would love to work with you in order to verify my personal account!
Hi Brett, we're just a social media agency so we can't help with PR. You could find a publicist in your niche via Google or colleagues in your industry. Best of luck! - C
This video was uploaded in October 2021. But the thumbnail says 2022

Hello thanks for very helpful video. I have a question for the link, would it be good idea to put spotify related links too? Thank you.
Hi Kim, you're welcome! A Spotify link wouldn't really get you closer to verification as they need to prove notability, and they do that via major press links, so I'd suggest to focus on that. - C
@@Highseasonco thanks alot!
@@KimAddict Pleasure! - C
Do you think it’s normal to receive an email saying your verification process is pending? And the email asks for something specific to verify your account?
No, unfortunately, that's a scam email. Definitely don't click any links! - C
how often can you apply ?
Once every 30 days! - C
@@Highseasonco THANK YOU
Thank you for simplifying this process. I applied but it said it can take up to 30 days!!! I'll keep you posted
Guys...after u hit submit, does it say anything after that? Mine just stays on the same page and nothing happens.
A few folks have said that. It typically says that you've submitted it, but worst case, you can contact their Help chat and ask them to be sure: facebook.com/business/help/support

I have a question, does your account have to be public to get verified? My account is private and I will like to get verify but I don’t want to put it public.

You can definitely apply via the back end of Instagram! As long as you have major press pieces about your dog, you should be ok :) - C
@@Highseasonco Well, my dog is the dam of the kennel my family is starting so were not famous lol. but she dose have a good following.
@@microwavedmetal Without the major press, it's pretty unlikely you'll succeed but you can always work with a publicist in your niche to see if they can help! - C
@@Highseasonco nice to know.
In the describe who follows you section... I have 3 verified accounts that follow me. One of which make music with//have pictures with. I simply just list them with a reason for their following?
In the links section would i send them to the songs I have collaborated with them on?
That wouldn't really be it, it's just the types of people who follow you. Eg if you're a painter, your audience would likely be art enthusiasts.
In the links, you need to include 5 links of major worldwide press about you. So your articles in Forbes, Time, CNN etc. - C
@@Highseasonco figured it would be more than that lol. Thanks!
