Verification requests from the general public, and the selection process for getting verified is completely opaque. Twitter does not release the information that it considers when verifying accounts. Your best bet for getting verified is to be an account that has a high risk of being impersonated (famous).
- Reasons for verification include being a highly recognizable public figure (musicians, actors, athletes, artists, public officials, public or government agencies, etc.), or if your name and likeness is parodied or impersonated on multiple Twitter accounts, leading to identity confusion.
- Twitter will not consider you for verification based on your number of followers. Twitter urges Tweeters to “Please note that follower count is not a factor in determining whether an account meets our criteria for verification.”Similarly, the number of tweets you post is irrelevant.
- For more information, read the Verified Account terms. These terms explain what a verified account is, what it means to be verified, who has the verified badge,
