TikTok is a growing platform that is becoming more and more popular. As the platform grows, creators and brands all want their profiles to stand out on the for-you-page. One way this can occur is by getting your account verified. But many creators remain puzzled about how TikTok decides to give these blue checks out. Here’s a guide on how to get your account verified on TikTok.
What is the verified badge on TikTok?
On TikTok, the blue check mark next to a username is the verification badge. This icon is a badge of approval by TikTok itself, assuring the community that this account is real.

TikTok has a team dedicated to giving out these blue check marks and unlike other platforms, there is no application process.
