Required identification for Meta Verified creator subscriptions
This article is about Meta Verified for creators.
If you’re a business, you can learn about Meta Verified business subscriptions in our Meta Verified for businesses Help Center.
When you subscribe to Meta Verified, you’ll need to upload photos of a government-issued photo ID (front and back) to confirm your identity.
ID requirements
Your ID needs to:
- Be a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
- Include your name, photo, and date of birth
- Have a photo that shows your full face clearly
- Match your profile name or meet our Meta Verified naming standards
Uploading ID photos
When you take photos of your ID, make sure you:
- Take a photo of the ID head-on, avoiding angles.
- Use a well-lit area.
- Place your ID on a flat surface with a contrasting background.
- Include the entire ID with all four corners visible, avoiding any cutoffs.
- Don’t use camera flash to minimize glare.
- Remove any other objects from the photo.
Video selfie verification
As part of the verification process, you may be asked to upload a video selfie to confirm your identity. You’ll see instructions on your screen for how to take a video selfie of your whole face.
Our technology analyzes the video to estimate the location of parts of your face (like your eyes), but doesn’t allow us to individually identify you or any other person. The information helps us distinguish videos of live people from videos of photographs used to impersonate live people.
A snapshot of the video is sent to human reviewers to compare it with the profile picture on your account. The information is processed to confirm you're a real person. This takes a few seconds before getting deleted. Your video won’t be visible on your profile, to friends, or other people on Instagram.
