Long shot: can any good soul that works on FB, ideally Instagram, tell me if it's true that you can internally submit a popular Instagram handle to be verified (get the blue tick)?
You cannot “give yourself” or anyone else a badge, but employees can submit accounts for review. Primary hurdle for verification is “notability” — is the person recognized as significant with press citations (in significant press outlets) IG recently opened a public facing request system so any one can ask for a review https://help.instagram.com/1080769608648426 Most ppl will not qualify
