A Blue tick tells people you’re real — and you’re accountable.
The Blue tick is for personal accounts. It confirms an individual identity behind the profile and helps reduce impersonation, scams, and fake profiles — especially when chatting with new people or working across borders.
Best for creators, professionals, and everyday users who want trusted conversations.
Why Blue tick matters
Personal verification improves trust, safety, and response rates — especially for first-time conversations.
Users can identify verified individuals quickly, reducing fake profiles and copycat accounts.
People reply faster when they know the person behind the chat is verified.
When languages and regions differ, verification adds confidence and reduces risk.
What it means to other users
This is the simple promise the tick communicates.
The account owner has passed identity checks for personal verification, reducing the chance of fake profiles.
- A real person is behind the account
- Identity was reviewed
- Account is more accountable
Users can focus on the conversation, not on worrying if the person is real.
- Lower scam risk
- Higher confidence in new chats
- Better experience for all users
Typical requirements
These are the common items users should expect during application.
A valid government-issued ID is used to confirm the person applying.
- Valid, unexpired ID
- Clear photo/scan
- Matching profile details
A selfie or liveness step helps confirm the applicant matches the ID (where required).
- Face matches ID
- Anti-fraud protection
- Faster approval when clear
If documents are unclear or inconsistent, the application may be rejected with guidance to resubmit. Once approved, the Blue tick appears across devices and stays tied to the verified identity.
Business and Government ticks have different requirements and trust levels.
