Instagram has made it a bit easier to get your account verified by submitting yourself for verification. First, make sure you are “authentic,” meaning you’re a real person, register business or entity. Second, your account must be the unique presence and not just a general interest. Third, you must have a complete account, meaning it is public, has a bio, profile picture and posts. Finally, you have to represent a well-known, highly searched for person, brand or entity.
