Introducing Workbench Verification
Today, we are introducing the new Workbench Verification System, designed to help users identify authentic creators, organizations, and public figures across the platform.
Verification provides an extra layer of trust by confirming that an account belongs to the person or organization it represents.
How To Get Verified
To qualify for a Workbench Verified Badge, your account must meet all requirements below:
- Email Verification: Your account must have a confirmed email address.
- Phone Verification: Your account must have a verified phone number.
- Two-Step Verification: Two-factor authentication must be enabled to protect your account.
- Account Age: Your account must have been active on Workbench for at least 80 days.
- Good Standing: Your account must follow Workbench Community Guidelines.
- Previous Warnings: If you received a warning, it must be at least 3 months old, and your account must have remained in good standing since then.
- Community Presence: Your account must have at least 10,000 followers.
The Review Process
Once your account meets all requirements, Workbench will automatically begin the verification review process.
During review, we check:
- Account security
- Authenticity
- Community guideline history
- Platform activity
- Follower authenticity
Eligible accounts should receive their verification badge within a few hours after approval. Review times may vary depending on the number of verification requests.

Receiving verification is only the beginning. Verified users are expected to continue following Workbench rules and maintaining a safe, authentic presence.
- Keep your account secure.
- Do not impersonate others.
- Follow Workbench Community Guidelines.
- Maintain authentic engagement.
