How To Get Verified On Twitter

First, you need to be a person of public interest (you need to have a following other than your mum). Twitter has started taking applications from users who wish to verify their account.

As part of your application you’ll need to send your birthdate, phone number, a copy of a government-issued ID, & you need to have your photo as a profile pic. You may ask, ‘All that effort for a tiny blue check next to your name?’ You’re not thinking like a celebrity, mate.

If you’re some big-shot, people may want to impersonate you, & they do, a lot. Having that little blue tick makes a world of a difference when your fans are looking for you & you want to continue to be famous. Currently, there are 187,00 verified accounts on Twitter, out of the 310 M users it boasts, making the blue check exclusive & rather coveted.
