Brand Verification Program

1. Purpose of Brand Verification

Brand Verification ensures that companies, media outlets, NGOs, government bodies, and professional organizations are represented by authentic, authorized accounts. This prevents impersonation, fraud, misinformation, and unauthorized communications.

Verified organizations receive a Gold Badge and additional security, communication, and administrative features.

2. Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for brand verification, an organization must meet all of the following criteria:
