Twitter has streamlined the process for individuals seeking to verify their accounts.
Users can now request a verified account through an online application. Twitter isn’t handing out verified accounts to anyone. Interested users need to explain why their account should be verified as part of the application process.
Verified accounts have typically been reserved for public figures, such as people in music, TV, film, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, and business.
Verified accounts, signified by a blue dot, have been authenticated as genuine.
