Telegram verification — How to get verified on Telegram

For channel owners

There are plenty of verified channels on Telegram. So how do you get the trusty blue checkmark? All it takes is a couple of clicks.

What do you need for verification?

You cannot verify your personal page; this option is only available for official channels and bots. There are no additional features beyond the official status. It’s just one way to show that your channel is official.

How to pass verification

There are several ways to verify your Telegram Channel. Choose the one that suits you best.

1) If you already have verified accounts in at least two of these services:

  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Tik Tok
  • VK
  • Snapchat
  • YouTube

Then all you need to do is provide links to those accounts in your Telegram channel. And send a verification request to the particular @VerifyBot bot. 

2) You can replace one of the two required verified accounts with a Wikipedia page link. This page must contain a link to a Telegram channel, bot, or public group. It must not be disputed by anyone and must comply with the rules of the significance of the resource.

3) Suppose you want to verify an entity’s Telegram channel. In that case, it will be enough to publish the link on the official website of the organization. However, the bot will require additional data and comments after verifying the links.

Can you change the channel name or short link after verification?

Official accounts are not allowed to change their name and short link. The only way to do this is by removing the verification status. To do this, go back to the bot @VerifyBot and type /unverify (cancel verification).
