How to Get the Blue Tick on Instagram in India (Meta Verified vs Notable)

Team SMMBolt · Updated 30 March 2026 · 5 min read

There are two legitimate ways to get a blue tick on Instagram in India.

1. Meta Verified (paid subscription)

Meta Verified is a monthly subscription for creators and businesses. You verify your identity with a government ID, and you get the badge plus extra account protection and support. Prices in India have been set per month and differ by platform and plan — check the current price in Accounts Centre → Meta Verified in the app.

Basic requirements:

  • 18 years or older
  • Meets minimum activity requirements (like posting history)
  • Full name and photo matching your government ID
  • Two-factor authentication on

2. Notable-account verification (free)

The traditional request for public figures and brands that are "notable" — frequently covered in multiple news sources, not paid or promotional content.

What helps a notable application

  • Press coverage in independent news outlets
  • A complete, active profile
  • A clear, consistent identity across platforms

Beware of tick sellers

Anyone offering "guaranteed blue tick for ₹X" is either selling Meta Verified (which you can buy yourself) or scamming you. Never share your login with them.
