Twitter announced on the 28th of last month that it would have to stop accepting requests due to the high demand that occurred after the first (and long) pause in the functionality. “We will no longer be accepting requests while we review those that have already been requested.”

Who can receive the 'blue badge'?

Now, with the reopening of the process and the return of verification requests, Twitter is certainly will have work to define who will be worthy of the so-called 'blue badge'. The requirements for users to have the verified seal, according to the platform, remain the same.

For those who don't have one and have never tried to sign up, it's good to know that registration is free for everyone, but not everyone fits the profile required by the social network. To receive the verification badge on Twitter, the requests at this stage of the return are exactly the same.

The user who wants to have the blue seal Twitter, upon returning to verification requests, first fill out a form, in which the profile must fit into one of the six existing categories (public authorities; companies, brands and non-profit organizations; journalism; entertainment; sports; activists and influencers). In addition, it is necessary to send a form of verification (email, cell phone or official website).
