Facebook is one of the most used and popular social media apps. Though the presence of Instagram and Snapchat has somewhat lowered the usage of Facebook still, Facebook has its own place among different social media apps. Now one of the things that can make you stand out from the crowd, is the blue or grey badge that you can get on your profile. This gives all the users of Facebook the proof that your ID is authenticated and is a legit account. And if you are also a popular celeb then, you can also request the Blue or grey badge on Facebook.

What is Blue or Grey Badge?

Now there are two badges that you can request from Facebook to be granted on your profile. Let us see the difference between Blue and Grey badges below:

Blue Badge

As per Facebook,

If you see a blue badge on a Page or profile, it means that Facebook confirmed that this is the authentic Page or profile for this public figure, media company or brand. Keep in mind that not all public figures, celebrities, and brands on Facebook have blue badges.

Below is the list of categories that can get the Blue Badge:

Select people (celebrities, journalists, musicians, athletes, etc.)
Select brands or businesses
Sports companies
Media companies
Entertainment companies
Government officials

Request for Blue Badge

Fill the form by visiting the link here.
Select Page under the Verification Type section.
Select your Facebook page from the drop-down list.
You also need to attach any of the below documents:
– Your organization’s phone or utility bill
– A certificate of formation
– Articles of incorporation (Tax or tax exemption documents belonging to your organization)

Request Grey Badge

Head over to the Pages Manager from your Facebook page.
Tap on Settings on your page.
Go to General>>Page Verification>>Edit.
Click on Verify this Page.
Now you need your registered phone number for your business.
And verify your phone number by entering the 4 digit code that is sent over to your phone number.
Send documents of your business like Business utility or phone bill, tax file, certificate of formation, article of incorporation, etc.
That’s it!
