Let\u2019s begin,<\/p>\n

At first, the only way to get verified on Twitter was to grow your presence as an individual or a brand. The verification was solely at the discretion of Twitter itself. But at the beginning of 2017, the Twitter verification process was open to the public. Twitter users could fill the application to get his\/her account verified on Twitter. If the applicant meets the pre-defined requirements they would get verified.<\/p>\n

Although, at the end of 2017, Twitter decided to rework its verification guidelines and improve the overall process. It also re-evaluated the previously verified accounts to ensure that they meet the updated verification guidelines.<\/p>\n

In 2018 Twitter took another initiative to verify political figures. All politicians that appeared on the general election ballots were verified, Twitter also introduced US election labels to distinguish them according to the race they are running. Brands and influencers still couldn\u2019t apply to get their Twitter profiles verified.<\/p>\n

\nFinally, on May 20, 2021, Twitter announced that it has reopened the verification process for all users. Now any avid Twitter user can apply for the verification badge.<\/p>\n
