There will soon be blue checkmarks on Instagram and Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta, announced on Friday the expansion of a premium subscription service for $11.99 monthly on the web and $14.99 monthly on mobile. Last month, the program was introduced in Australia and New Zealand.

Now, Meta Verified is launching in the United States, he stated. You can obtain a badge, proactive impersonation prevention, and direct support access.

To register, users must be at least 18 years of age, provide a government-issued photo ID, and configure two-factor authentication.

The service would include proactive account monitoring to further protect against impersonation and direct access to customer service representatives.
