in the birth of the blue check mark badge.

HOW TO GET VERIFIED

Set your tweets as “public”
Visit the verification form on Twitter
(Note: If you’re applying for verification of a personal profile as opposed to a business profile, you’ll also need a copy of a photo ID like a passport or driver’s license.)
In Twitter’s announcement about verified accounts, they listed a few particular elements that might be a factor in which accounts they choose to verify and which they don’t. The biggest factor in getting verified on Twitter is that the profile is of public interest.
To explain a bit further, Twitter mentions that “public interest” might include public figures and organizations in the fields of:
Music
TV
Film
Fashion
Government
Politics
Religion
Journalism
Media
Sports
Business
