In order to qualify for verification, the user must have a profile with a picture, as well as a confirmed email and phone number attached to the account. The user must also have adhered to Twitter's rules within the past 12 months and been active on the platform within the last six months.
On the application, the user needs to identify which category they fit into for verification. There are six categories: government, companies, news organizations and journalists, entertainment, sports and gaming, and activists. Twitter said it plans to add more categories in the future.
Then the user must confirm their identity using either a government issued ID, an email address that ties them to an organization in one of the six categories, or a website.
Once the individual's identity has been confirmed they can submit the verification request.
Twitter said users who are approved will immediately receive a blue check mark, while those who are rejected can apply again after a 30-day waiting period.
