Meta Verified

Meta Verified is Meta’s subscription bundle that offers a blue verification badge on Instagram and Facebook.

What is Meta Verified?

Meta Verified is Meta’s subscription bundle that offers a blue verification badge on Instagram and Facebook, which helps you show the world your profile is authentic and give you extra perks that normal accounts don’t get. For $14.99 per month (depending on your region), this service gives users the same blue checkmark previously reserved for public figures. But Meta Verified doesn’t stop there — it also includes added account protection, better support options, and even some exclusive features.

How much is Meta Verified?

A Meta Verified subscription costs start at $11.99/month when you subscribe from the web and $14.99/month when you subscribe within the app, but the costs vary by region and by needs. The most expensive monthly plan is $349.99/month.

How do I get Meta Verified?

Getting Meta Verified is simple, but first you need to make sure you meet the requirements:

  • You need to be 18 or older.
  • Have a posting history.
  • Your profile picture should clearly show your face, and your name must match the one on your ID.
  • You’ll also need a government-issued ID and two-factor authentication enabled.

If you meet these, you can subscribe via Instagram or Facebook settings. Just tap on “Meta Verified,” choose which Meta accounts you’d like verified, pay the first month, upload your ID, confirm your profile info, and you’re set! From here on out, you’ll be charged the monthly subscription fee unless you cancel. 

What are the benefits of Meta Verified?

Meta Verified offers a lot more than just the iconic blue checkmark:

  • Account protection: Meta promises added protections for your profile and monitor for impersonation threats.
  • Better support: Access to real human help for account issues.
  • Exclusive stickers: Access to unique stickers for Stories and Reels.
  • First access to features: Try new tools and features before non-verified users.
