<p><a href="https://twitter.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a> has announced that it will finally remove the legacy verification checkmarks today. The microblogging platform had previously encouraged all users to subscribe to Twitter Blue to enjoy some of its premium benefits, including the verification badge, as Elon Musk hopes to generate more income since he took over at the helm. </p>



<p>Recall that the company had earlier announced that this would be done on the 1st of April before postponing its execution. Any accounts verified under the old system will no longer have the blue checkmark badge on their profiles unless they subscribe to Twitter Blue.  </p>



<p>Many tweeps coveted the verification badge under the company&#8217;s last administration. It was seen as a means to authenticate accounts since many users could impersonate other high-profile users or entities.</p>

<p>This move is part of the company’s ongoing effort to make the verification process more transparent and streamlined. In December last year, Elon Musk announced via his official account that the company plans to remove all legacy blue checks as the method they were given out was “corrupt and nonsensical”.</p>

<p>The microblogging platform has stated that it will reach out to affected users and provide them with information on how to reapply for verification under the new system. The company has also said that it will prioritise users previously verified under the old system in the new verification queue.</p>

<p>Users with individual accounts can purchase Twitter Blue to get access to services such as the ability to undo tweets, access to a dedicated customer support team, and a customisable app icon. </p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tomorrow, 4/20, we are removing legacy verified checkmarks.

</div></figure>



<p>Organisations can apply for verified organizations on the platform. </p>



<p>Applicants must ensure their profiles are eligible for verification even after subscribing to Blue by having up-to-date and accurate account information. The use of full names as display names and clear profile images are highly encouraged. </p>



<p>Also, the requirements state that active accounts would be verified, so applicants must ensure the account has been active (posting, replying, liking) in the last 30 days. Also, accounts must be over 90 days old to be verified. They also need a confirmed phone number — without this, there is no way to get verified, even with Twitter Blue.</p>
