Facebook verification
Get the Facebook blue check, the right way.
Two legitimate routes to the badge: Meta Verified (paid subscription + ID) and notability verification (free, for the genuinely well-known). We work out which one fits, build the notability case Meta actually looks for, and submit a clean application. No bribes, no fake badges, no empty guarantees.
How it works
From eligible to verified
We check your account against Meta's authenticity, completeness and notability bar and tell you which route fits.
Where notability is the gap, we secure real press coverage through the marketplace to build the evidence Meta looks for.
Photo, name, bio, links and posting cadence aligned to what passes review.
We submit a clean application through the correct channel and handle re-submissions if needed.
Notability is mostly press coverage
The biggest reason verification applications fail is "not notable enough." Meta wants to see you covered by independent, established outlets. Our marketplace gets you published in exactly those, with every price on the page, so you build the evidence first and apply from strength.

Can you buy Facebook verification?+
You cannot bribe your way to a badge, and anyone selling "guaranteed" verification through a back door is running a scam or will get your account flagged. There are two legitimate routes: Meta Verified (a paid subscription with an ID check) and notability verification (free, for genuinely notable people and brands). We help you qualify for and apply through the right one.
What are the requirements for the Facebook blue check?+
Your account must be authentic (a real person or registered business), complete (photo, bio, active posting), and unique. For notability verification, you also need to be "well-known and often searched for", which Meta judges largely on press coverage from established outlets. Meta Verified instead requires a subscription plus a government ID match.
How does press coverage help me get verified?+
Notability verification leans heavily on coverage in established, independent media. A clean set of articles about you or your brand in real outlets is the single strongest signal you can build. That is exactly what our marketplace delivers, which is why verification and PR go together.
Can you guarantee Facebook will approve me?+
No, and we will never pretend to. Meta makes the final call. What we control is your eligibility, your profile, your notability evidence, and a clean application, which is what separates approvals from rejections.
How long does it take?+
Meta Verified decisions are usually fast (days). Notability verification depends on how much coverage and authority you already have; building that case can take a few weeks. We give you a realistic read after a free eligibility review.
