will be able to get their personal profiles verified, even though a lot of the qualifications to getting verified are pretty much the same.
You’ll need a lot of followers, though, which isn’t required for Pages.
Once you submit your personal Facebook profile for verification (which, from what I can see you need to do by contacting Facebook directly), Facebook (if seriously considering your request) will get in touch and ask for documents that can help prove you are who you say you are, like a copy of your license.
I’ll go ahead and save you some time with this one, and strongly recommend creating a Page for yourself and try to get that verified; it will be significantly easier.
How Long Does it Take to Get Verified?
It depends on a number of factors, including what type of Page you have, how busy the Facebook team is, and even your number of followers. Facebook takes longer, for example, when approving businesses than some celebrities.
This is a huge time span, but it can take anywhere from 48 hours to 45 days, especially for the blue badge of verification; the gray badge typically takes much less time.
What if Facebook Rejects My Submission?
If Facebook doesn’t verify you, for whatever reason, it’s not the end of the world; like Twitter, you may just need to revamp your profile or Page and try again.
Make sure that your Page is full and fleshed-out, with as much information as possible to make you seem credible. Writers can add publications to their “Impressum” section, and be getting more mentions or reviews from other Pages and users don’t hurt, either. You can also reach out to Facebook’s support for more information about why you may have been rejected, too.
