Verification is currently used to establish authenticity of identities of key individuals and brands on social media.

Facebook proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing basis to make it easier for users to find who they’re looking for. It concentrates on highly sought users in music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, advertising, business, and other key interest areas.

Facebook verifies business partners from time to time and individuals at high risk of impersonation.
