Twitter today announced a new process for those who wish to verify their accounts (Verified accounts). The verification badge is designed to allow well-known individuals and organizations to prove their authenticity among thousands of fake accounts. 
“We want to make it even easier for people to find creators and influencers on Twitter, so it makes sense to let more people apply for verification,” said Tina Bhatnagar, Twitter’s vice president of user services.
“We hope that opening this application process will help more people find high-quality accounts to follow, as well as help content creators and influencers connect with a wider audience.”
Typically, the feature is reserved for celebrities, journalists, politicians, etc., but the new system could give the verification badge to anyone whose account might be at risk of impersonation. Aside from the badge that the social network adds, nothing else changes to the account.
The application process will begin today, and will be available globally later this week.
