Those who use Twitter would be aware of verified accounts. These accounts are accompanied by a blue checkmark that indicates that the account is indeed handled by the actual owner of said account instead of an imposter. Since Twitter stopped allowing users to apply for verified status, verification has been done manually at Twitter’s discretion. This is no longer the case as Twitter will be opening applications to those interested to verify their Twitter accounts.
If you’re interested in obtaining that illusive blue checkmark, you can apply for it at here. However, do note that there are some prerequisites that needs to be fulfilled before your Twitter account gets verified. First off, your account must contain a verified phone number, e-mail address, bio, profile picture, birthday and website. Twitter will also ask you why you should be verified, and in some cases, they may even ask for a government-issued ID to confirm your identity.
Should your application be accepted, the blue checkmark would then appear on your Twitter account. Should the application fail, you can try to apply for verification again 30 days after you first received the ‘verification denied’ e-mail. Those who managed to acquire verified status will be able to access special features such as a verified-only notification feed. Other than that though, the Twitter experience remains fundamentally unchanged.
