For many people, being verified on Twitter is a world, since it means being approved as a relevant person in an official way before the world. The blue bird company activated it a few months ago and we show you how to get it.
To be honest, we have all tried to get the blue badge, or we wanted to get it. Regardless of our profession, followers and activity. We are important to many people and therefore Twitter should recognize our account.
This thought is legitimate and very valid but, unfortunately, Twitter does not think like that, but believes that only government agencies, companies, celebrities, politicians and opinion leaders, among others, should opt for verification.
A few months ago Twitter reopened the requests verification in your app after more than 3 years of blocking, so right now any of you can try it. So from here we teach you in a guide of a few steps how to order the blue tick:
- Open the Twitter app and click on the profile photo in the upper left corner.
- Press the Settings and privacy option. There click on Account.
- Once you have clicked on Account select Verification request.
Once we have reached this point, what will appear to us will be a series of requests, as you will see in the photos that accompany the text. Let’s review them.
When we click on Verification request, an application will open external to Twitter where it will ask us to:
- Let’s select the category to which we belong (company, journalist, athlete, activist, politician …).
- After we make (in our case what type of journalist we are, depending on who we work for)
- Then we will have to give the data of the company we work for with your Twitter name.
- Then we will have to schoose which verification method we want to follow. Adding relevant jobs or a reputable place where they talk about us as journalists. Depending on what we select, different paths will open.
- To get verified many times it is necessary provide official accreditation such as the DNI, so keep it handy because you will have to scan it.
- Once all this is done, it is Twitter’s job to give you the verified or not. Which can take up to 14 days to be answered.
At that moment the ball is in the court of Twitter who, through its criteria and methods, decide which users have the right to verification and who do not. As we have discussed, they take around two weeks to respond.
If you are denied verification, do not worry, since after 30 days the application will let you try again, in case in that period of time you have managed to be relevant, in tweeting terms, of course.
