Our criteria for verification is evolving based on user feedback. We will continue to expand the scope of accounts that are eligible for verification over time. This is an initial version of the form that will change as we finalize the requirements for verification.

Bluesky maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward verification fraud and misuse of this application process.

Please Note:

No response will be communicated unless your account is selected for verification
We may require Identity Verification at a later date via ID
Meeting the basic criteria does not guarantee verification
Bluesky will only accept one unique request per account
