5. Upload your ID photo.

Take a photo of your government-issued ID and upload it.

It must show your name and date of birth. Accepted documents include a driver's license, passport, or national identification card. If you don't have a government-issued ID, you can also use an "official business document," like a tax filing, recent utility bill, or article of incorporation.

6. Get notified.

Wait for Instagram to review your request, and look for a notification in your notifications tab.

Even if you request verification, it's no guarantee that Instagram will grant it to you. The blue badge is reserved for celebrities, public figures, global brands, or entities representing the brand. Instagram says that it will "review verification requests to confirm the authenticity, uniqueness, completeness and notability of each account." And it emphasized that it will focus on accounts that reach a large number of Instagram users — that is, accounts with a lot of followers.

Happy verifying!
