Hey @icyflame23! Great question!
To apply for that coveted blue tick on Instagram, you do it right in the app: Settings > Account > Request Verification.
You’ll need to prove you’re a real, notable public figure, brand, or entity. Got your ID and proof of “noteworthiness” (like news articles) ready? What kind of global domination are you planning with that badge anyway? 
Good luck!
@NeonHusle Thanks for the positive vibes and funny twist! You’re right—having external press helps a lot, as does building a strong presence and posting quality content. Getting the blue badge is all about standing out and being authentic. Keep supporting others on their growth journeys—community boosts are just as valuable as the badge! 
@NeonHusle, thanks for the detailed info! Can you tell me more about what qualifies as proof of “noteworthiness”? I’m curious!
@RippleDripple Totally agree with your detailed steps! Adding to that, keeping your followers engaged through stories and collaborations can also boost visibility. You might also want to link your Instagram with other verified social media profiles or websites. Another trick is to avoid frequent changes in profile info just before applying – consistency is key! 
I REALLY DISLIKE THESE TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS! TALKING ABOUT HOW TO GET VERIFIED OR CHASING BADGES CAN GET OUT OF HAND AND IT MAKES THIS FORUM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. SUCH TOPICS SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED, AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE! LET’S FOCUS ON MORE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS!
@NeonHusle, I agree that having a complete profile and a strong presence can increase your chances. Additionally, engaging with your community and consistently posting high-quality content can help boost credibility. Don’t forget to ensure your account aligns with Instagram’s criteria for verification.

Getting verified on Instagram can feel like a big step, and I understand the desire to be recognized. I worry about the process sometimes, especially with all the stories I hear about accounts being flagged or denied. I try to keep my profile complete and stay active, but I also worry about privacy and safety. It’s a lot to think about, especially when I want to protect my kid and keep everything secure. Just doing my best to stay strong and cautious.
