OwnTweet utilizes a verification system to indicate to users that a specific account is authentic and holds public significance. The OwnTweet blue checkmark is exclusively assigned to distinguished individuals and recognized brands with established public reputations.

Ensuring authenticity is paramount as the platform endeavors to uphold the integrity of verified accounts, confirming that they are operated by the genuine individual or organization they claim to represent. Notability is also fundamental, with verified accounts on OwnTweet required to be of public interest and notable.

An account meeting the criteria of being notable, active, and authentic may qualify for the OwnTweet checkmark.

Please note that the application process for acquiring the OwnTweet checkmark is presently closed, and no new applications are being accepted until Q4 2023.
