Verified badges are different from Meta Verified.
- Verified badges confirm that a notable account is the authentic presence for that person or brand.
- Meta Verified is a paid subscription that confirms that the account is validated and authentic. This subscription comes with a bundle of features and benefits available for both eligible profiles and eligible businesses.
If you already have an existing verified badge based on prior requirements, you can still sign up for Meta Verified.
The meaning of the verified badge has been updated to represent authenticity.
A Facebook Page or profile with a verified badge
next to it now indicates that Facebook has confirmed that it is the authentic presence for that person or brand. Previously, the verified badge also required the person or brand to be notable and unique. You may still see users with a verified badge that represents our previous eligibility requirements.
The verified badge is a tool to help people find people and brands' real Pages and profiles. If a Page or profile has the verified badge, we've confirmed that it represents who it says it does. If the badge isn't there, it may not be the real Page or profile. Posts, stories and other content from verified Pages and profiles aren't verified by Facebook. We don't use the verified badge to endorse or recognise individuals, public figures or brands.
A verified Page or profile cannot transfer ownership or modify its purpose. Edits such as name, category and bio updates are reviewed before they're posted. Ownership transfers and significant changes may be grounds for badge removal.

As we test and learn, there will be no immediate changes to accounts on Facebook that are already verified based on prior requirements.
