How to be certified on Tik Tok?

You have a Tik Tok account and want to be certified? You want to prove the authenticity of your account with the little blue icon on the right of your username? Don’t worry, we have a solution! Today we’re going to tell you all the secrets to be certified on Tik Tok. What does a TikTok certification look like?

Verified accounts on TikTok have that little blue badge next to their name, but beyond that, what does it mean? It simply shows that TikTok certifies that the account is authentic and official, that it belongs to the person who claims it or that the brand it represents is indeed original and unique. The certification is meant to be a guarantee and to fight against the many “fake” accounts that imitate the accounts of celebrities or well-known brands.

It makes it easier to find live accounts of our favorite stars and/or brands and to connect with them with confidence. If you are a well-known person, your certification is almost there. On the other hand, if, like me, you’re a complete stranger looking to build your business from nothing or very little, you’re going to have a hard time getting certified?

First of all, please note that you will only be eligible for TikTok certification if you have at least a few thousand followers. So, to get it, you need to create lots of interactions on your account to increase your number of followers and prove to TikTok that you know how to animate. Your account will then be considered as “valid” and you will be certified (according to TikTok standards).

TIK TOK certification procedure, steps to follow

Unlike other social networks like Instagram, Tik Tok does not have a specific option to request a certification. The platform itself contacts the user, fulfilling all the requirements to be verified. Therefore, simple users are forced to use certain strategies in order to be reached. Here are some examples in particular:

Produce quality content on a regular basis

Tik Tok’s verification option is reserved for very popular users with millions of subscribers. To do this, you need to post content on a regular basis. But not only that, you also need to post good quality content. This will increase your popularity and make your video go viral. Always make original videos if possible to stand out from other videos. If you can’t find it, choose to remake the hottest and most watched videos on Tik Tok. Also get access to the best video editing tools and accessories. This way, you will get a high quality video with a very good resolution. Finally, add a touch of music to your videos to make them more interactive and engaging.

Use hashtags and trending content

On Tik Tok, there is a video called “challenge”. This is your option to take on challenges or duplicate popular content. To do this, tag the challenge (for example: ≠finalcountdown, ≠fashioncolors…).

Promote your account on other platforms

Posting content regularly is not enough to increase your followers. You also need to promote your Douyin account on other platforms. Don’t hesitate to share your video on Facebook or Instagram to attract more viewers. Also, place a redirect link on your other account to allow your friends to access your account directly.

Check with other social networks

Finally, if your other social network (attached to your Tik Tok account) is certified, you can proceed with the Tik Tok certification application. All you have to do is fill out a form that will ask you for certain information, including your category (creator, media, company, public figure, etc.), your login and contact information (email, etc.), and your age. The platform will also ask you to abide by Tik Tok’s rules before proceeding with the application review.
