Facebook selling blue ticks for 285,000 VND/month? How can you get one?

Reading time: 3 minutes

Meta CEO and billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has just confirmed plans to launch a service offering paid account verification—the “blue tick”—on Facebook for $12–$15 per month. Will this service take off in the near future?

According to Meta executives, the company is launching this paid verification service for Instagram and Facebook this week. Subscribers will receive an account verification badge and enjoy enhanced customer support.

Meta’s CEO stated that the service will cost $11.99 per month (approximately 285,000 VND) for web-based payments and $14.99 per month (approximately 360,000 VND) for payments made via iOS. It will debut in Australia and New Zealand before rolling out to other countries.

Would you be willing to purchase a blue tick to protect your personal brand?

At around 285,000 VND per month, many users will likely be willing to pay for this blue tick given the benefits it offers. Having a verified badge on your profile boosts confidence by confirming your authentic identity; it also establishes credibility and trustworthiness while helping to prevent impersonation that could damage your personal image.

At just 285,000 VND per month, this cost is significantly lower than the fees currently charged for existing blue tick verification services.

The Facebook blue tick service will be priced at $11.99.

Notes and conditions for obtaining the Facebook blue tick

The Facebook blue tick service may evolve over time to enhance the user experience. Once verification on Facebook or Instagram is complete, your account will enjoy benefits such as the blue tick, enhanced customer support, priority comment visibility, priority placement in recommendations to other users, and a host of other features.

To apply for the Facebook blue tick, you must meet minimum activity requirements, such as:

• Must be 18 years of age or older;
• Submit a government-issued ID that matches the name and photo on your Facebook or Instagram account;
• Have a minimum of 10,000 followers;
• Display clear information and a biography on your Facebook profile;
• Include links in your profile to articles featuring you (priority given to reputable, high-authority news outlets).

You will then receive a blue circular checkmark right next to your Facebook account name. This is how social media users can protect their personal accounts from online impersonation.

Can you buy a blue checkmark for an Instagram account?

Currently, a purchased Instagram blue checkmark does not transfer to a Facebook account. If you have multiple Instagram accounts, each one requires a separate monthly fee for the blue checkmark and its associated benefits.

Furthermore, Instagram has not yet announced the monthly fee for its verified blue checkmark service. The app’s information page for the service also explicitly states that it is not yet available in the Vietnamese market.

Consequently, registering for account verification and obtaining a blue checkmark on Instagram is far from simple. A black market for Instagram blue checkmarks has even emerged, where users pay tens of thousands of dollars to acquire the verification badge.

Conclusion

In summary, the blue checkmark on Facebook signifies an authentic account belonging to an individual with significant community influence. However, commercializing this “badge of authenticity” could diminish its inherent value.
