Right now, only some public figures, celebrities and brands have verified badges. You can request a verification badge with the steps below. However, submitting a request does not guarantee that your account will be verified.
Go to your profile and tap
in the upper right corner.
- Select Business tools and controls or Creator tools and controls depending on your profile type.
- Tap Request verification.
- After you've filled out the form, tap Submit we will review your request.
If your account does not have a verified badge, there are other ways to show people that you're authentic. To demonstrate authenticity on your professional account, you can:
- Write description in your Instagram profile bio to tell potential customers more about your business.
- Use Stories to provide a behind the scenes look at your business.
- Encourage customers to tag your business so people can see posts from customers using your product or service.
