SeleID HelpA verified badge is an account status displayed beside an identity. It is separate from choosing a good display name, having many followers or qualifying for an earnings programme. A familiar photograph alone is not proof that an account is authentic.
Prepare a clear identity
Keep your public name, username and photograph consistent with the person or organisation you represent. Set up your profile with truthful details and publish work you have permission to share. Do not copy another person's identity to make your application look stronger.
Use an actual application option
If your current app shows a verification application, read its requirements and complete the requested steps honestly. Availability and requested evidence can differ by account. If no application control is present, use in-app support to ask about the supported process. Do not assume a button on another person's phone is available to you.
Check the result
A submitted request is not an approved badge. Follow the status and any response you receive through the app. There is no guaranteed approval date or follower threshold stated in this guide. If an identity detail is wrong, correct it through the appropriate settings rather than creating a replacement account.
Avoid badge scams
Do not send passwords, login codes or money to someone promising approval. Read impersonation and scams and phishing. A badge does not guarantee that every message or payment request is safe. Review account security before responding.
