You need to learn how to get verified on TikTok ASAP. 😲
Let me break this down a bit…
If you get that blue check mark on your clients’ profiles, you can swing open m-a-s-s-i-v-e windows of opportunities.
After all, many TikTok users have failed miserably at getting their accounts verified.
If your clients somehow pull this off, it signifies they earned the favor of the TikTok gods, setting them apart from other users.
To help you get your clients verified on TikTok, we’ll talk about the nitty-gritty of TikTok verification.
Of course, we’ll also share some tips on how to increase your chances of getting approved.
Let’s hop right in.
TikTok verification is a feature that verifies a user account’s authenticity.
A verified account shows a blue badge or checkmark beside the user’s profile photo and the name in the user account and search results.
The TikTok verification badge indicates that the platform has validated the account’s identity and that the account genuinely represents the real brand or person.
The main purpose of TikTok verification is to differentiate real profiles from fake accounts. It assures other users that the verified TikTok account is trustworthy.
For influencers and brands, that blue checkmark can be an authenticity badge that helps build trust with audiences and potential customers.
Users must meet specific criteria and go through a review and verification process before getting that TikTok-verified badge—which we’ll cover later.

Besides ensuring your clients’ accounts are the real deal, getting verified on TikTok offers the following perks.
As it turns out, impersonation is NOT the greatest form of flattery—especially on TikTok, where posers can use your client’s name and brand to deceive people. Yikes!
Getting verified helps prevent this, ensuring followers that your clients are the real and only owners and users of their TikTok names and accounts.
The verified badge wards off impersonators, warning other users of fake accounts that share images, videos, quotes, and other content and pretend to be your clients. It helps your clients increase their credibility in their followers’ eyes and foster trust.

Data backs this, showing that 81% of consumers must trust a brand before buying.
TikTok collaborations are built on trust—starting with the credibility and authenticity of your client’s accounts.
Your clients should also be wary of accepting collaboration projects from unverified accounts since they could be fake.

While unconfirmed, reports say that TikTok’s algorithm has a soft spot for verified accounts.
Verified accounts are more likely to get a feature in For You Pages (FYPs), drawing more eyeballs to your clients’ videos.
More exposure means better visibility and engagement, increased followers, and the potential to go viral.

However, having high engagement rates and a significant following can improve your client’s chances of getting verified faster.
While getting verified on TikTok with only a few followers is possible, having more followers boosts your client’s chances of getting that blue badge.
TikTok considers the account’s popularity, relevance, and influence before verifying accounts.
So, the higher your clients’ follower count, the more popular, relevant, and influential the account—making it more credible, authentic, and eligible for verification.
TikTok can take 24 hours to 30 days to review and approve verification requests.
Yes, TikTok can remove an account’s verified badge at any time and without notice for the following reasons:
The TikTok username changed, so the account owner must re-apply for verification.
The account was moved to another owner, making the verification no longer authentic.
The account type switched to personal, business, or institution.
The account severely or repeatedly violated TikTok’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. It can get the verified badge removed and the TikTok accounts banned.
