What is TikTok verification?

If you follow your favorite singer, brand, celebrity, or professional sports team on TikTok, you may have noticed a blue check mark displayed next to their username. This is a verified symbol or badge that TikTok provides to help you make informed choices about the content you watch or accounts you follow.

If you're approved for TikTok verification, you'll receive a verified badge. A verified badge means that we've confirmed the account belongs to the person or brand it represents. This means you can be sure to know that the verified accounts you're following are exactly who they say they are, rather than a parody or fan account. As a creator, the verified badge helps build trust with your followers. Whether you're an individual, nonprofit, institution, business, or official brand page, the verified badge adds an important layer of clarity within the TikTok community.
