Find out who can and how to get a verified account on Facebook
To have a verified account in Facebook you must know that the social network works with two types of verification: a blue and a gray seal. Any page that is categorized as local business, company or organization can get the gray check. Already the blue, which confirms the authenticity of a page or profile of public interest, is conferred by Facebook itself - that is, it is not possible to request it. Authentic public accounts (ie real owners) that have the potential to be copied, such as famous people or brands, for example, can receive this seal in the social network.

After this process, Facebook will review your information to confirm that it matches public records. In a few days you will receive a notification or email about the status of the request to receive gray check seal. This process can take from 48 hours to 45 days, according to Facebook.
If for any reason it is not possible to use any phone to do the verification, Facebook offers the possibility of document verification. To use this method, go back to "Step 4" and click "Check this page with documents". Submit the files and wait for the return by email.
Please note that if a Facebook page is verified, it does not mean that the same person or brand's Instagram account will also receive a badge. In the social network of photos and videos, the only check symbol available is intended only for public figures, celebrities, and known global brands.
There are other ways to show your followers that your account is genuine if it has not received a blue stamp. Facebook recommends, for example, that you link your social network page or profile through your Instagram profile, Twitter account or official website in the "About" area of your profile.
