YOGYAKARTA - Once you build a channel and build a strong following, it's natural to start thinking about how to get verification on YouTube. How to verify your Youtube account?
YouTube's verification badge gives you the highest credibility account, showing the world that YouTube has confirmed that you are who you say you are. Not everyone can get it. But for those who qualify, this is an important achievement of YouTube.
What is YouTube verification?
YouTube verification actually means two different things. The simplest type of YouTube verification only involves verifying your phone number with the code sent to your phone. This ensures you are a real person and not a bot. This type of YouTube verification is available to anyone and opens some additional YouTube features:
To check if you have verified your account, go to Settings > Account and click Status and channel features. If your account is verified, you will see Enabled in green next to a feature that requires phone verification.

But people also say "Tube verification" or "Tube account verification" when they mean getting an official YouTube channel verification badge, which looks like a gray tick or music note.
This verification badge gives credibility. It tells the world that this is the official channel of creators, artists, brands, or community leaders. And, perhaps most importantly, it helps prevent fraudsters.
How to verify your YouTube account in 4 steps
Note: To get the simple phone verification mentioned above, which is available to anyone and open additional features, make sure you go to YouTube and open YouTube.com/verify.
To get YouTube's official verification badge, follow the following steps:
Step 1. Open the app page
Open the YouTube channel verification app.
If your channel meets the requirements to apply for verification, you will see an application form. If you don't meet the requirements, you will see a message asking you to come back again after reaching 100 thousand subscribers.
Note: If you don't have 100,000 subscribers yet, don't panic! Scroll down for tips reaching 100 thousand, and about how to increase your credibility even without a YouTube verification badge.
Step 2. Complete the form
Fill in the application form. You need your channel name and ID. If you don't know your channel ID, you can click the link under the channel ID box in the form to find it.
You can also find your channel ID at any time from your YouTube account under Settings > Further Settings.
After you complete the form, click Send.
Step 3. Wait
Now you just have to wait while YouTube is verifying your account, which can take up to a few weeks. YouTube said, "We will check various factors to help verify your identity, such as the age of your channel."
They may also ask you to provide more information or documentation to prove your validity.
Step 4. Keep your verification
Once you get the coveted badge, here's what you can do to make sure you don't lose verification.
Do not violate the Provisions of Service or Community Guidelines
Getting verification on YouTube is something... but it's different to keep it verified. Even if you have met all the criteria and obtained a verification badge, YouTube can and will revoke it if you violate their Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
Don't change the name of your channel
If you change the channel name, you will also lose the badge. You can apply for verification again using a new name. But because the essence of the badge is to confirm that you are who you say you are, changing your name regularly is not a good idea.
Who can get a YouTube verification badge?
