Twitter is relaunching its public verification application system after suspending it more than three years ago to clarify the verification eligibility criteria.
"Over the past several months, we've been working to bring clarity to the verification eligibility criteria and launched a new policy shaped by public feedback," Twitter said in a blog post today.
Twitter users can now submit applications to request verification in-app, right from their Twitter account settings, by clicking the application link under "Verified" in the account settings.
The verification application process requires you to choose an eligible category matching their account, a method of identity confirmation, and to submit a request a verification request.
"Over the next few weeks, everyone on Twitter will start to see the new verification application directly in the Account Settings tab," Twitter added.
Once you apply for verification, you should get a reply within a few days or weeks, depending on the number of accounts that have already added their application to the verification queue.
