Apply from the editor once your page is live. A person checks that the page belongs to who it names, and a blue badge appears by your name.

Get your badge
A person checks your page and the accounts it links to. You get an email when it's decided, and the badge appears by your name.
What you can do
Everything it can do.
What we check
That a real person, brand or organisation is behind the page, and that they show up the same way on the socials it links to. A badge isn't an endorsement and doesn't change how your page is found.
What visitors see
A blue tick by your name. Tapping it opens a short note saying Hiyaly checked that the page really belongs to you and that the socials linked there were checked, with the month you were verified.
Keeping it
The badge covers the name and photo we checked. Change either and it comes off until you're checked again. If the page leaves Pro, the badge is hidden and comes back when you choose a plan again.
If you're turned down
You'll see the reviewer's note in the editor, explaining why. Fix what it says and apply again after 30 days.
Gold badges
A gold badge marks well-known names and pages that often get copied, so visitors know they've found the real one. Nobody applies for gold; we give it.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does the verified badge cost extra?
No. It's part of Pro, at $8 a month or $72 a year, and applying is free.
Who can get verified?
Any person, brand or organisation with a live page, a profile photo and at least two of their social accounts linked.
Do I need lots of followers?
No. We check that the page is really you, not how big you are. Gold badges are the ones kept for well-known names.
How long does review take?
A person reviews each request, so it isn't instant. You get an email as soon as it's decided either way.
Why did my badge disappear?
Changing your page's name or profile photo takes the badge off until it's checked again, because that's what was checked. It's also hidden while the page has no plan.
Can I apply again if I'm turned down?
Yes, 30 days after the decision. The reviewer's note in the editor tells you what to fix first.
