How to Submit your Facebook Fan Page for Verification

*Update 1/14/2016* Local business pages on Facebook can now be verified (with a grey check mark). Learn how to verify your local business page on Facebook. Personalities or celeb fan pages you can still request verification here. 

*UPDATE  9/3/15* So I got in touch with my Facebook contact and asked about the previous URL I had used in the original video. Here’s her response below. Honestly, I think too many people were submitting spam requests and flooding their team with verification submissions after I gave out the URL I used in the video.

I apologize. BUT, for personalities or celeb fan pages you can still request verification here.

*UPDATE  08/12/14*

While I still have not found the new business submission form, if you are a personality or celeb, use this form to request verification.

*UPDATE 06/24/14* 

No joke, I think this post was sending so much traffic to Facebook’s verification form that they moved/removed the page. :/

Doh…

Anyway, I encourage you to SUBSCRIBE to my blog so I can send you an updated method when I find it. I just didn’t want to leave new visitors and my readers in the dark!

-Original Post-

Facebook page verification is highly sought after for most brands and celebrities. Although Facebook states there is no way to request a page for verification, there is a work around that I’ve found and of course I couldn’t wait to share it with my readers!!

This week’s #SocialMediaMinute will teach you how to submit your Facebook Fan Page for Verification.

PS: I was very surprised by the amount of other ridiculous “tutorials” that I found when researching this topic. Some dealt with copy and pasting code, downloading some sketch software, and the top result on YouTube for this search is a video of some dude saying you can’t verify your page….wonderful!

For that reason please make sure to share this article as it’s the only legitimate way I’ve found, oh, and it works! *NOTE* I do not have the ability to verify your Page for you and will not respond to emails with that request. Sorry!

What are Verified Pages?

Verified Pages will have a badge beside the name of the Page that indicates the Page is the authentic voice of the business or individual. This makes it a whole lot easier for people to find and engage with the businesses and brands they’re looking for on Facebook.

Also, verified pages receive a huge boost in organic reach!

Keep in mind, Facebook Fan Pages that are verified belong to only a small group of prominent public figures (celebrities, journalists, government officials, popular brands and businesses) with large audiences and Facebook is proactively verifying authentic Pages and Profiles that are at the greatest risk of impersonation.

To access the form to request verification for your page, use the following URL: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/583041871730382

*UPDATE 06/24/14* No joke, I think this post was sending so much traffic to Facebook’s verification form that they moved/removed the page. :/

*UPDATE  08/12/14* While I still have not found the new business submission form, if you are a personality or celeb, use this form to request verification. (note, you must be signed out of Facebook to access the link)

Disclaimer (don’t waste your/FB’s time)

Please use common sense when submitting your Facebook Fan Page for Verification using the form.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Is your Facebook page the official presence of a popular brand or celeb?
  • Is your Facebook page currently or has a high chance of being impersonated?
  • Does your Facebook page have a large audience? (i.e. 20k+ Fans)
  • Is the page in question running Facebook ads? (may not be necessary but I believe it provides extra leverage if you are)

What to Include in your Verification Form Submission

It’s important to include the right information when submitting your Facebook page to be verified. This will reduce the unnecessary back and forth that may occur between you and Facebook support. Including relevant information will also decrease the likelihood of your request being dismissed (assume they receive these requests all the time.)

Here’s what I included that helped get my submissions pushed through (and ultimately verified) to Facebook’s Pages team:

  • URL of the Fan Page I wanted to verify
  • Links to the Brand’s official website
  • Links to 2-3 impersonating fan pages
  • A good reason WHY the page should be verified (If you can’t answer this, it’s probably best you don’t submit a request)

If your Request is Denied:

If your profile or Page isn’t verified, there are other ways to help your followers or the people that like your Page know that your identity is authentic.

For example, you can:

  • Link to your Facebook profile or Page from your official website
  • Complete the About section of your profile or Page to provide more information

Takeaway

I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the response I received from Facebook’s Global Marketing Solutions team. After I had the pages verified I was sent a follow up questioner of their level of service and my experience working with their support. I suggest for good karma to leave them feedback whatever it may be.

Verified Facebook pages receive numerous benefits outside of the blue check mark. They rank higher in search, have increased organic reach and are allowed to add other special features to their pages like video trailers.

Good luck and don’t forget to spread the word!

      • hey i now used usa socks and it works fine 🙂
        but everytime i submit a page for verification i get a reply

        “Hi Ramneek,
        I do understand your interest and desire to have your Page verified. Facebook automatically verifies certain accounts to help people find authentic profiles and Pages. We’re not currently able to accept requests for verified profiles or Pages from the public.

        For this reason we can not fulfill your request for Page verification at this time.”

        Can you please help me with this? 🙁

        Reply

        • Hey Ramneek, was this the email you received back from the Global Marketing Team? In this case your page probably didn’t fit the requirements for verification. Sorry but verifying your page is not something I have the power to do :/

We run ads frequently. And we’ve been getting impersonated for the past 3 years! (And it attached 3 pages impersonating us). Any advice on what to do?

  40. Hi Jacob, I am in Dubai and trying to use the link you shared but facing the same problem like others. Is this verification process is valid only in certain regions. Please suggest…

    Reply

  47. You should say right up front on the video that most pages won’t be able to be verified, per Facebook: “Right now, we’re only accepting verification requests from Pages that represent celebrities, public figures, sports teams, media and entertainment. To submit a request, make sure you’re logged into Facebook and fill out this form. Please keep in mind that most Pages and profiles, including local businesses, aren’t eligible for verification.” Wasted my time, but nice link bait.

    • Hey, @LucidGal:disqus . Back when I created the video the form shown was accessible to the public and worked. Unfortunately a few months after publishing the link to the form, Facebook removed the page entirely as I imagine the form was being abused. As I couldn’t re-edit the video I included a YT annotation linking out to this post which includes the updates you spoke of at the very top. I’ve also provided the link to the alternative form to use for approving celeb pages, etc. Sorry for wasting your time, Kim :/
