Legacy verification and Meta Verified are different things

Meta Verified is a paid monthly subscription. Legacy verification is the blue check that recognizes accounts of notable people, brands and organizations, and it is decided on notability.

  • Meta Verified is a separate product from notability-based verification
  • Legacy verification looks at public impact and credible press
  • Media recognition from reputable outlets is the main evidence
  • The account must represent a real, notable person, brand or entity
  • Meta reviews and decides each request on its own criteria

Both products exist for different purposes. If your goal is the notability-based check, the strength of your press is what matters most, and that is the part we prepare.

How it works

How Instagram Legacy Verification Works

  1. 01

    Eligibility Review

    We look at your profile and any existing press, assess notability honestly and tell you which route looks strongest.

  2. 02

    Press Review or Build

    If you have press, we check its quality. If not, we build authentic coverage and your online presence from scratch.

  3. 03

    Request Preparation

    We prepare the verification request with the press and public-impact evidence organized the way reviewers expect.

  4. 04

    Submission and Guidance

    We submit the request and guide the account through any follow-up, without ever needing your password.

A submission with qualifying press typically takes 1 to 7 days to prepare and send. Building press from scratch typically takes 4 to 6 weeks first.

What we do, and what we do not do

What we do

  • Review your press for quality and relevance
  • Build authentic press coverage where there is none
  • Prepare and submit the request for you
  • Guide the account without needing access
  • Tell you honestly where your case stands

What we do not do

  • Ask for your password or any account access
  • Use fake documents or fabricated press
  • Claim control over Meta’s decision
  • Sell purchased or “insider” badges

Press quality

Why the quality of press matters

Legacy verification depends on the quality of press, not the volume. Reviewers look for credible evidence of public impact.

  • Credible Outlets

    Coverage from reputable, established publications carries weight. Low-quality sites add little and can weaken a case.

  • Reputable Sources

    Press must come from sites that are reputable and not low-quality or promotional sources, or it may not count at all.

  • Independent Recognition

    Articles written independently about you or your brand show real media recognition rather than self-published claims.

  • Clear Public Impact

    The press should show why the account is notable, so the case rests on evidence a reviewer can follow.

A few strong articles usually help more than many weak mentions, which is why we review quality before we submit.

FAQ

Instagram legacy verification questions

Is Meta Verified the same as legacy verification?

No. Meta Verified is a paid monthly subscription that Meta offers as a separate product. Legacy verification is based on notability: Meta looks at whether an account represents a real public figure, brand or entity with a public impact that credible press and media recognition can show. We work on the notability-based route, and Meta decides every request.

Do you need access to my account?

No. We never ask for your password or any login details. For a submission we work from your public profile, your press and the information you share with us, and we guide you on the account side without needing to sign in as you.

How long does it take?

When you already have qualifying press, preparing and submitting the request typically takes 1 to 7 days. When we build the press and online presence from scratch first, it typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Meta’s own review time is outside our control and can vary.

What press qualifies?

Coverage from credible, reputable outlets that are reputable and are not low-quality, paid-listing or promotional sites, written independently and about you or your brand. Legacy verification depends on the quality of press, not the volume. A few strong articles help more than many weak mentions, and we review what you have before anything is submitted.

What if verification is not achieved?

Our refund policy is that if verification is not achieved, you receive a full refund plus additional high-tier press coverage at no cost. Because Meta makes the decision, we describe this as our policy and not as a promised result, and we confirm the terms in writing before we start.

Do you also verify Facebook?

Yes. We handle verification for Instagram and Meta accounts and for Facebook Pages and profiles. The notability case is built on the same press and public-impact evidence, and we prepare the request for the platform you choose or for both.

Can a rejected request be resubmitted?

Often yes. We read the response, compare it with your press and profile, and work out what was weak or missing. If a stronger case can be built, for example with better coverage, we prepare a new request. We do not send repeated identical requests, because that does not improve the odds.

Who decides whether an account is verified?

Meta decides. We cannot influence or control its decision. What we do is prepare the strongest, most accurate case we can, using authentic press and a clear showing of notability, and submit it correctly.

What if I have no press at all?

Then we build it. We plan and secure authentic press coverage and strengthen your wider online presence, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, and then we submit the verification request. We never fabricate articles or use fake outlets.

Can brands and public-figure accounts both apply?

Yes. Public figures, creators, businesses, organizations and brands can all be assessed. Eligibility depends on whether there is enough credible public recognition to show notability, and we tell you honestly where an account stands before we begin.
