How to Get Your YouTube Channel Verified

The verified badge on YouTube is a visual trust signal to viewers that the channel is a genuine, recognized source.

Basic Requirement: Subscriber Threshold

To apply for verification, a channel needs to reach a certain minimum subscriber count; this threshold gets updated by YouTube from time to time.

Clear Brand/Identity

A channel name that clearly represents a real person, brand, or organization makes the application process smoother. Vague or misleading channel names increase the risk of rejection.

Application Process

You apply through YouTube Studio under "Settings > Channel > Status and Features"; approval can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
