Twitter acknowledges the real Twitter users by adding a “Verified Account” logo on their Twitter account pages. This is to let others know that the Twitter user is the actual person that he or she claims to be. You might have seen many well known artists, celebrities, athletes, actors, public officials, and public agencies with the Twitter verified account logo and if you want to have it on your own account, you may apply for a Twitter verified account.
A verified Twitter account user is contacted by the people at Twitter to check if the person or organization is the same that he/she/they is/are claiming to be. It helps in avoiding impersonation or identity confusion as the big names such as celebrities, politicians, news reporters are involved in this most popular social networking site.
Although Twitter does not guarantee the inclusion to the verified account’s list, they will look into your matter and handle with care if your account is constantly competing with parody or impersonation accounts. Twitter verifies a limited number of accounts as you can see that they have millions of users and approving such large number of accounts after due verification will take ages.
However, you can influence your inclusion process to their list by adding a Twitter badge or logo on your official site linking back to your profile, which will be helpful for verification purposes.
You can find more details on Twitter verified accounts and apply to become a verified Twitter account use on their support page.
