Are you Meta Verified? Here’s what it is, how much it costs, and what perks it gets you

To buy a blue check next to your name, open account settings, scroll to Accounts Center, then Meta Verified. If your account is eligible for subscription, you’ll see Meta Verified available for your Instagram or Facebook accounts.

After you provide Meta with a photo of your government-issued ID, verifying your identity will take about 48 hours. You’ll be prompted to enter a payment method after submitting your ID. Meta Verify costs $14.99/month for verification on the Facebook or Instagram app and $11.99/month to be verified on Facebook’s web version.

You will have to subscribe for verification on Instagram and Facebook separately, paying about $27 monthly for verification on both platforms.
