Get averified badge

A verified badge is a tick by your name on your page. It shows visitors that a person at Hiyaly checked the page really belongs to you, and that you show up the same way on the social accounts it links to. It makes it harder for anyone to pose as you.

The badge isn't an endorsement, and it doesn't change how your page is found.

What you need to apply

• A Pro plan on the page.
• A published page.
• A profile photo.
• At least 2 of your social accounts linked as social icons.

Apply

1. In the editor, go to Settings › Profile › Verified badge and click Get verified. You can also click Get verified by your name in the Profile tab.
2. Check Your checklist. Anything still to do is marked, with an Upgrade button if you need a plan.
3. Click Apply for verification.

A person then checks your page and the accounts it links to. While you wait, keep your name and photo as they are. If you change your mind, click Withdraw my application.

When there's a decision

We email you either way, and the result shows in the same window.

• If you're approved, a blue badge appears by your name.
• If not, you'll see Not verified last time, sometimes with a note from us. Click See note to read it. You can apply again 30 days after the decision.

Keeping your badge

• Keep your name and profile photo as they are. Changing either removes the badge until it's checked again.
• Keep a plan on the page. Without one, a blue badge is hidden, then comes back when you choose a plan again.

Our staff can also take a badge away.

Gold badges

A gold badge goes to well-known and often impersonated pages. Nobody applies for it; we give it out ourselves.
