Request a verified badge for your Instagram profile
Verified badges are different from Meta Verified.
- Verified badges confirm that a notable account is the authentic presence for that person or brand.
- Meta Verified is a paid subscription that confirms the account is validated and authentic. This subscription comes with a bundle of features and benefits available for both eligible profiles and eligible businesses.
If you already have an existing verified badge based on prior requirements, you can still sign up for Meta Verified.
If you're already a Meta Verified subscriber, you will receive the verified badge after successfully applying and completing the verification process. Learn more about how to apply for Meta Verified. If you are a public figure, celebrity or brand you might be eligible for the verified badge if you meet our existing account and eligibility criteria.

Keep in mind:
- Even if your account is eligible for verification, submitting a request doesn't guarantee that your account will be verified.
- Submitting multiple verified badge requests doesn’t guarantee that your account will be verified and applying for a verified badge multiple times before receiving a decision will cancel your application.
- Once verified, you may not change the username on your account, and verification cannot be transferred to a different account.
- Verifying your account on Instagram will not verify your account on Facebook. Visit the Facebook Help Center to learn how to verify your Facebook account.
- If you receive a verified badge using false or misleading information during the verification process, we will remove your verified badge and may take additional action to disable your account.
