[bitheerani319]

Do I have to have a business account to get the blue check mark?
No, both personal, business, and creative profiles can be verified on Instagram if they meet the required criteria.

Is verification free?
It's completely free, and if someone claiming to be from afghanistan whatsapp list asks you to pay or offers to buy a blue checkmark, be sure it's a scam so don't fall for the trick.

How many followers do I need to have to get a blue check mark on Instagram?
There is no set number of followers that guarantees verification. However, since Instagram only verifies certain profiles that meet their requirements, it is logical that such profiles usually have a large number of followers.

Who can help me get the blue check mark?
No one. There is no one who can help you with this, no “catching connections”, buying pins and similar stories that circulate on the internet. You only have yourself and your profile. If you meet the requirements and pass yourself off as a famous person or brand, Instagram will definitely recognize it.

What are the benefits of the blue check mark?
Are there any benefits to getting the blue check mark? Of course there are. Given that it is a matter of prestige and not everyone can get it, the blue check mark guarantees that you are “someone”, that you are authentic and that you can be trusted.

Also, people easily notice the blue check mark next to your profile name, so you may grow even faster because more people will want to follow you. Profiles with blue check marks are much easier to get attention, engage followers, and convert them into buyers of what you sell, as well as develop a brand that people will trust.

Can I lose the blue check mark?
Of course, Instagram's rules state that they can take away your blue checkmark or even remove your entire profile if you violate any of Instagram's rules of conduct, sell a verified profile, or try to get verified through a third party (in which case your profile will almost certainly be deleted).

The blue check mark, or verification, is really not easy to get. But, if you really want it, work on the quality of your profile, try to stand out, brand yourself, and at the end of the day, it doesn't cost you anything to apply.
