How to get Verified on Twitter Quickly

What is a verified account?
Any account with a blue verified badge on their
Twitter profile is a verified account.
Why does Twitter verify accounts?
Verification is currently used to establish authenticity
of identities on Twitter. The verified badge helps
users discover high-quality sources of information
and trust that a legitimate source is authoring the
account's Tweets.
What kinds of accounts get verified?
Twitter proactively verifies accounts on an ongoing
basis to make it easier for users to find who they're
looking for. We concentrate on highly sought users in
music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion,
journalism, media, advertising, business, and other
key interest areas. We verify business partners from
time to time and individuals at high risk of
impersonation.
We do not accept requests for verification from the
general public. If you fall under one of the above
categories and your Twitter account meets our
qualifications for verification, we may reach out to
you in the future.
Why hasn't my account been verified?
If you think you meet the criteria for verification and
have not yet received a badge, please be patient. We
are working within key interest areas to verify
accounts that are sought after by other Twitter users.
We don't accept verification requests from the
general public, but we encourage you to continue
using Twitter in a meaningful way, and you may be
verified in the future. Please note that follower count
is not a factor in determining whether an account
meets our criteria for verification.
Besides verification, how can I show my
account is authentic?
Linking to your Twitter profile from an official website
is the easiest way to confirm the authenticity of your
Twitter account. Including Twitter's follow button on
your webpage is the absolute best way to do this.

How to identify an official verified account:
The verified badge will appear in the top-right
portion of a user's profile page just above the
name, location, and bio.
If the verified badge appears anywhere else on a
user's profile page (such as in the avatar or the
background) it is not a verified account.
The verified badge cannot be used unless it is
provided by Twitter. Accounts using a badge as part
of profile pictures, background images, or in any
way implying false verification will be permanently
suspended.
The verified badge will also appear next to
usernames in people searches on Twitter.
The verified badge will have the same color even if
users customize the background of their profile
page or change the color in the sidebar.
Why do I see two timeline options on verified
profiles?
When visiting the profile of a verified user or
advertiser, you will see two timeline options - with
All or No replies. Some verified users like to reply to
mentions from their many fans and followers, but
these replies can crowd their profile timeline, making
it hard to see their other Tweets that may be of more
interest to you. By default, No replies is selected
when you navigate to a verified user's profile. If you'd
like to see that user's complete timeline, including
their @replies, simply click All.
