Every day, billions of people use Facebook for genuine connection between real people \u2014 to buy and sell on Facebook Marketplace, meet someone on Facebook Dating, or join a conversation in Groups. As AI <\/span>makes it easier to generate content, profiles, and messages,<\/span> we want to provide a way for you to<\/span> know there is a real person on the other side of a profile. That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing Facebook Verified, a free badge for people on Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Facebook Verified uses a simple selfie-based process. You record a short video selfie, which we check against your existing profile photos to confirm a match. The process is free and\u00a0 typically takes just a few minutes. Accounts must meet our trust and safety standards to qualify for verification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Facebook Verified is available to eligible Facebook users, <\/span>18 years and older on Facebook who are in good standing\u00a0 with our <\/span>Community Standards<\/span><\/a>, specifically those prohibiting fraud, scams, and deceptive practices, and who exhibit no evidence of <\/span>inauthentic behavior<\/span><\/a>. It is not available for Pages or ProMode accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re rolling out Facebook Verified in phases, starting in select markets with plans to expand globally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once verified, your badge will appear across the places on Facebook where it matters most: Marketplace, Dating, Groups, and Profile to start. Over time, we\u2019ll add badges in Feed posts as well. There\u2019s no subscription fee \u2014 you verify once, and the badge travels with you across Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When you\u2019re browsing Marketplace listings, looking at a dating profile, or checking out someone\u2019s profile in a Group, you\u2019ll see the Verified badge on accounts that have completed the verification process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Facebook Verified badge means a profile belongs to a real person \u2014 someone who completed selfie verification and meets our trust and safety standards. It\u2019s a quick, visible signal, before you respond to a listing, accept a date, or join a conversation, that there\u2019s a real person on the other end.<\/span><\/p>\n The Facebook Verified badge does not mean that Facebook endorses the user or guarantees their trustworthiness. All users are still subject to Meta\u2019s policies, like <\/span>Community Standards<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Commerce Policies<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As AI makes it easier to do more on Facebook, a clear signal that distinguishes real people becomes essential. That\u2019s what Facebook Verified is for: keeping the moments that matter on Facebook grounded in real people.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Facebook](\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01_Introducing-Facebook-Verified.jpg\")
