Now literally any musician can register as an artist and easily get the badge next to their name. Back in the day Spotify required having at least 250 followers on the platform to get verified, however, it was ditched in recent years. Spotify may not be the most artist-friendly platform in terms of royalties payout, but it’s definitely one of the least demanding when it comes to verification. Let’s take a look at the specific parameters and steps required to get verified on various streaming services and social media sites in 2022. You no longer need to be a world-renowned star with millions of followers to be eligible for the verification, but the requirements differ from platform to platform. The process of getting the verified badge on social media platforms and streaming services has become easier over the last few years.

Since a checkmark next to a name is a symbol of authenticity and notoriety, it’s an important milestone many musicians and other artists are looking forward to. A verified badge is used to separate public figures from imposters.

Major brands, celebrities and other notable figures are prone to being impersonated – anyone with a connection to the Internet can pretend to be them, spread misinformation, scam their fans and customers. A blue tick badge or checkmark icon is the confirmation that an account of public interest is the real deal.
