Just as Facebook and Twitter already had created an option for users to verify their profile to better help the social platform protect verified accounts against any existence of a fake account created by another user to gain popularity which may end up misleading users.
Instagram has also introduced this feature in which users will have to request verification to keep their account authenticated, and it just got much easier.
So lots of persons have been asking me about this process. Here, I’ll be discussing the process of how you can verify your Instagram account and get the blue badge attached to your profile. The procedures have been simplified below.

- Open your Instagram account on your Android or iOS device and click on the three Vertical lines
- Scroll down to ‘Settings’ and click on it
- Scroll down and tap ‘Request Verification’
- Fill every required filed correctly.
The following information is what you should drop in the required field;
• Your Full Name • A government ID that clearly states your Full Name and Date Of Birth.
NOTE: Government ID such as; National ID Card, International Passport, Driver’s License or any other Government ID existing in your country could be used, provided it clearly states your full name and date of birth.

Your application for Instagram verification will be reviewed and you will be notified of any response Instagram should take regards your request. That is, you may get approved or be denied.
According to the official blog post, Instagram would review every verification request to check whether the profile is real and belongs to a global brand, celebrity, an entity, or a notable figure
If you happen to apply and gets disapproved, consider reapplying after 30 days (from the day you received the last notification).
