| How To Get The Blue Tick On Instagram 2020 |
Step 1: Assess Your Instagram Majesty
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
- Are you basically Beyoncé (but, you know, with fewer Grammys)? Excellent! Verification practically awaits.
- Do you own a particularly dignified hamster with a surprising penchant for parkour? This might be a stretch, but hey, stranger things have happened (although probably not on hamster Instagram).
- Do people on the street confuse you for a local weatherman because you post a lot of cloud pictures? This might not be the path to verification you envisioned, but it's a path nonetheless.
Step 2: Cultivate an Aura of Unquestionable Importance
Tip: Bookmark this post to revisit later.
- Befriend a celebrity in a non-creepy way. Name-dropping their pug on your story might seal the deal.
- Start a petition demanding your own verification. Make it sassy, make it loud, but whatever you do, make sure it goes viral. Because what screams "important" louder than thousands of internet strangers demanding something completely nonsensical?
- Accidentally get locked in a supermarket overnight. Document your struggle for survival with thrilling Instagram stories. Who knows, maybe you'll become a local hero and newsworthy enough to warrant a blue tick.
Step 3: The Official Verification Request (Assuming You Haven't Achieved Cult Leader Status by Now)
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.

- Fill out the form with unwavering confidence. Even if your biggest claim to fame is that time you accidentally won a pie-eating contest, act like it was a Pulitzer Prize for pastry consumption.
- Polish your government ID to a blinding shine. They need to be absolutely certain you're not a thirteen-year-old with a Napoleon complex.
- Cross your fingers and pray to the Instagram gods. Seriously, a healthy dose of luck never hurt anyone.
Remember: Verification is a fickle beast. There's no guaranteed path to that precious blue check. But fret not! Even without it, you can still build an awesome Instagram presence. Just focus on creating engaging content, and who knows, maybe someday your sheer awesomeness will be undeniable (or at least meme-worthy enough to go viral).
P.S. If all else fails, there's always the slightly less glamorous option of strategically placing a blue Sharpie dot next to your username. Just sayin'.
