Bluesky introduces blue checkmarks for identity verification: How to apply

Social media platform Bluesky has begun rolling out a blue check verification feature for its users. This new feature aims to verify legitimate accounts, making it easier for users to assess an account’s credibility and related posts.

Bluesky’s verification system also allows “Trusted Verifiers” such as organisations to issue blue checks directly. These trusted verifiers are identified by scalloped blue checkmarks. For instance, an organisation can issue verification badges to its members directly through the app. Bluesky’s moderation team will review each verification to ensure authenticity.
