Meta Verified
Meta's paid verification bundle that confirms identity and unlocks extra support tools on Facebook and Instagram.
Definition
Meta Verified is a monthly subscription that requires a government ID check and provides a verification badge across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads (where available). Subscribers receive proactive impersonation monitoring, live chat support for account issues, and a token stipend on eligible platforms.
Why it matters
- Identity lock: Passing Meta Verified satisfies Facebook's strongest ID requirement, reducing future verification prompts.
- Faster support: Live chat and dedicated queues speed up resolution of Marketplace, payout, or policy problems.
- Account security: Meta monitors for impersonation attempts and automatically challenges suspicious clones.
Notes
- Meta Verified renews monthly and can be canceled anytime from Accounts Center - Meta Verified.
- The badge only applies to the profile that completed verification; business Pages still require separate verification.
- You must maintain two-factor authentication and use your real name-aliases and nicknames are declined.
