 So, in this video, I'm going to show you how to apply for verification on Instagram. So what does it mean to be Instagram verified? So on your profile, if you're verified, you have a blue check mark next to your name. And this shows that you carry a certain amount of authority on the Instagram platform, arguably a certain amount of kudos as well. So the process of applying for verification, as we'll see, is relatively straightforward and you can apply through the app. However, being granted verification by Instagram, well, that's a little trickier. However, what we do know is that Instagram say that you do need to be notable. So there is little point in applying unless you are notable in whatever your field is. So whether it's politics, sport or business or perhaps charity or you might be an event organizer, you do need to be notable in that particular area. So that's quite a subjective term, but Instagram do give us a couple of clues. They say that this means that you need to be well known, again, also somewhat subjective, and also you need to be highly searched for. So Instagram will have stats on how many times people are searching for your name and your account name on Instagram. So that perhaps is a known factor that can help you achieve verification on Instagram. So let's take you through the process of how to apply for verification on Instagram. So first of all, we go to the hamburger menu as it's known, the three lines at the top of the app. And then we drop down to settings. And once we're into settings, we go to account. And then there's a number of options under here, but you'll see near the bottom request verification. So if we select that, we just have a single page to complete here. As Instagram explain verification indicates that the account is the authentic presence of a notable, again, there's that word notable public figure, celebrity, global brand or entity it represents. And obviously submitting a request for verification here doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be granted verification, but the process is straightforward. So it's already populated your username in the top field here, then you put in your full name here, if you're known by a different name, that's what you'd complete there. And then you have a number of categories that you can choose from. So you can see those here. So they range from news media through to blogging, being an influencer, or if you don't fit any of those categories, you can select other. Then you just need to scan and upload a scan or photo of your ID, so driving license or something like that. So they say driving license passport or national ID card. And then once you've done that, you click send. And then you wait and you wait and hope that Instagram will grant you verification. So that's how to apply for verification on Instagram.
