Additional information
When submitting a request to verify an account, Twitter will ask for additional information that can help them evaluate it. Twitter gives the tips below:
- They’ll ask you to tell them why we should verify an account. If the account represents a person, they want to understand their impact in their field. If it represents a corporation or company, let us know their mission.
- When providing URLs to support your request, choose sites that help express the account holder’s newsworthiness or relevancy in their field.
- They may request that you scan and upload a legible copy of your government-issued ID (such as a passport or driver’s license) to confirm your identity.
