Facebook's verification program

Facebook’s verification program awards a blue checkmark to individuals, organizations, or brands that meet specific authenticity and public interest criteria. This process confirms their identity, helps users find genuine accounts, and prevents impersonation. To get verified, applicants typically submit documents or proof of identity to Facebook for review. The program enhances credibility and trustworthiness on the platform but is limited to notable figures, brands, and organizations. Verification is not guaranteed and is subject to Facebook’s policies and review process, ensuring that verified accounts are authentic and notable.
