Hello there! So, you are wanting to verify your Instagram account in order to resume running ads? I can certainly assist you with that. I have completed this process myself, and will gladly share my own experience and give you detailed guidance. Let’s begin!
Why Verify Your Instagram Account?
Verifying your Instagram account has several benefits, especially if you want to run ads. A verified badge not only adds credibility to your account but also helps prevent impersonation. It shows your audience that you are the authentic owner of the account, which can increase trust and engagement with your content. Additionally, verified accounts often have access to advanced features and analytics.
Step 1: Meet the Requirements
Before you can request verification, make sure your Instagram account meets the following requirements:
- Your account must be authentic and represent a real person, business, or brand.
- Your account must be public, as private accounts are not eligible for verification.
- Your account must have a complete bio, profile picture, and at least one post. This helps Instagram verify the authenticity of your account.
- Your account must be active and compliant with Instagram’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Step 2: Submit a Verification Request
Once you meet the requirements, follow these steps to submit a verification request:
- Open the Instagram app and go to your profile.
- Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner.
- Tap on “Settings” at the bottom of the menu.
- Scroll down and tap on “Account.”
- Tap on “Request Verification.”
- Fill out the verification form with accurate information.
- Attach a photo of a government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license) or official business documents (if you’re representing a brand or business account).
- Tap on “Send” or “Submit.”
Once you submit the request, Instagram will review your application and notify you of their decision via a notification in the Instagram app. The review process may take some time, so be patient!
Conclusion
Verifying your Instagram account to run ads again is a straightforward process. By meeting the requirements and submitting a verification request, you can gain access to the benefits of a verified badge. Remember to stay patient during the review process and make sure to provide accurate information. Once approved, you’ll be back in action and ready to run ads on your Instagram account!
