Why Every Artist Should Verify Their Social & Music Platform Profiles | P Tune Studio Guide
One of the smartest things you can do as an artist is to verify your profiles across social media and music platforms.
Why? Because when new listeners search for you, verification helps them find the real you instantly — no confusion, no impersonators, no fake accounts.
Think of it as your official stamp of authenticity.
What Does the TikTok Verification Badge Mean?
A TikTok verification badge (the blue checkmark) means TikTok has confirmed that the account truly belongs to the person or brand it represents.
You’ll see the checkmark:
- Next to the username in TikTok search results
- On the profile page itself
It’s TikTok’s way of telling fans, “Yep, this is the official account.”
How Can an Artist Get Verified on TikTok?
For P Tune Studio to assist with your verification request, you must be a signed client.
Once that’s confirmed, TikTok reviews several factors before granting the badge.
Here’s what TikTok requires:
✔ 1. Active Account
You must have logged in within the last 6 months.
✔ 2. Secure Account
Enable multi-factor authentication and make sure your email is verified.
✔ 3. Authentic Identity
Your account must represent a real artist, brand, or entity.
Only one account per artist can be verified (language-specific pages are the exception).
✔ 4. Complete Profile
Your account must be public and include:
- A full bio
- Artist name
- Profile photo
- At least one posted video
✔ 5. Notable Online Presence
TikTok looks for features in multiple independent news sources.
Paid articles, press releases, or sponsored posts don’t count.

How Much Does TikTok Verification Cost?
Nothing — TikTok never charges for verification.
Anyone trying to “sell” verification badges is not affiliated with TikTok and is likely a scam.
Why TikTok Might Remove Verification
TikTok can remove your verified badge at any time, without warning.
Common reasons include:
- The account is transferred to a new owner
- The username changes (you’ll need to reapply)
- The account type changes (business ↔ personal ↔ institution)
- The account violates TikTok’s Terms of Service
Stay active, stay compliant, and your verification stays intact.
