Telegram channel Programmer and business. Every day there are interesting stories about how a programmer builds a business.
Many users of the social network VKontakte may have more than once seen a blue check mark on the account of a famous person or popular brand. Perhaps every person would like to get the same tick in their profile in order to stand out from others. There are indeed ways to achieve this goal, but they differ slightly from the official method. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to set a private VKontakte checkmark through a browser extension, and also find out whether it is possible for an ordinary user to get the bird in the official way.
Why do you need a tick in VK and who is it given to?
In fact, a unique mark in Vkontakte performs a rather important function. It allows, for example, to identify a real user among thousands of fake pages. Before the appearance of the checkmark, it was quite difficult to determine when searching which of the hundreds of pages belonged to Tina Kandelaki or another celebrity. Today, finding the original page is quite easy. You need to select the profile that has passed verification and has a mark.
There are similar methods for determining a genuine page in other popular social networks. After all, there are no strict rules that would prohibit any person from passing off his profile or community as others. If this were so, then such checkboxes would not be needed at all. When passing verification to confirm your account, there is even a point that requires that there be more than 10 pages (or groups) with the same name on the network. You can also find out who viewed your history on VK.
To get a tick on VKontakte there are a number of requirements that must be met. Popular personalities, show business stars, TV presenters, companies and brands that are mentioned in various sources can receive it. Including popular newspapers and internet sites. If this is a community, the main criterion is unique material on the pages.

How to certify your authenticity?
To pass verification on VKontakte, the user must meet several basic requirements. The network administration checks the user's application for compliance and makes a decision on verification (or not verification). Let's go through the basic requirements and see how realistic their implementation is.
Fame
The main verification requirement is the recognition (popularity) of the user. The most popular and most visited private pages will most likely receive the status of a valid account. If you are popular enough, and there are links to your profile, there are mentions of your name on third-party resources - the chance of getting the coveted tick increases. If you are unremarkable, account verification may not take place.
Blank page
The second requirement: a clean, attractive page. Everything is simple here: there should be no spam, obscene words, rude statements or insults in comments and your own posts. Why is this requirement necessary?
The social network displays verified pages at the very top of the list. So such private sites are like a facade of a social network. They must be beautiful, attractive and respectable. This leads to other requirements: no copying: only unique content with exclusive photographs, a minimum of links and reposts.
The information on the page must attract visitors and have a certain citation index, which is determined by search algorithms.
Account fullness and traffic
The next requirement is account activity. Finding a private page in the top places obliges the profile owner to put his data in order, fill out his account with personal information and photographs, and new (unique) interesting entries.
The verification algorithm also determines the number of friends. There may be ten or even a hundred, but not 10 thousand. The number of subscribers to your page must exceed the number of friends. If you have too many friends, you can write to the network administration in advance - all of them will be transferred to the status of subscribers.
False verification
Some very smart account owners solve the verification problem simply: next to their name they put a copied check mark. This is not prohibited by the network rules, but it also has nothing to do with page verification. You should not trust such people and try to follow this path. It's better to try to get verified yourself.
What you need to do to pass verification and get a mark
Let's consider the procedure for obtaining a tick on the VKontakte social network for those who really have the right to do so.
Namely:
- who has obvious numerous mentions on the pages of other popular resources;
- who is often written about in the media;
- who has a personal page on Wikipedia.
First of all, it must be a blank page. This refers to the manner in which it is conducted. Your profile should not contain spam or offensive phrases. All comments must be properly moderated. Even if you can't do it yourself, hire employees for this position.
Another important point is the uniqueness and frequency of adding material to the page in VK. The profile should be updated frequently. Otherwise, if you visit the page infrequently and there is little to no material on it, then your request for a checkmark may be denied. If you want to get a mark, contact VKontakte support - https://vk.com/support?act=home or the group https://vk.com/dont_panic_42.
When filling out the application form, you must provide a copy of documents that confirm your identity. Or that you are the official authorized person to manage the group. You can also ask an additional question on the form regarding documents for verification. They will tell you what other evidence is required.
Page verification.
All information about obtaining official status for your page has been provided. Let us briefly list the rules for submitting a page for verification:
- You must be known, discussed, popular. Your popularity must be confirmed through various Internet services/platforms. Let's say you have a certain number of subscribers on Youtube, Instagram, etc. There is a high-quality article about you on Wikipedia, or you once appeared on TV.
- The page should be filled out as much as possible (information about you is indicated), clean (without various types of spam, provocative moments).
- And, of course, you must maintain the page. Regular publications of photos, videos, text and other things. That is, actively engage in it.
If you meet the criteria described above, at the bottom of the text on the link, there is an option to submit an application for verification.
Next, a dialog box opens, through which a connection is established with representatives of this social network. Indicate links to your popular profiles, communicate, and get your coveted tick. If there is no popular profile and you are not a popular person, what is stopping you from becoming one? Go for it! :)
How to get a tick on VKontakte for an ordinary user
Even if you are not popular and the administrator of a popular group on VK, you have the opportunity to get a mark or a bird next to your name. Special applications and groups will help with this. It is necessary to immediately make a reservation that a tick obtained by these “cunning” methods will not be “official”. And in some cases it will not even be visible to all VKontakte users. By the way, even an official mark from the VK administration does not give users any advantages. The page does not have any additional functions.
What should I do if my application is rejected?
If you rejected an application from your personal page, it means you are not yet well known enough and you don’t need a tick.
If your application from the community is rejected, then continue to develop it and try to apply again later. You can show your audience that the group is real without a tick: fill out the description in detail, regularly publish new posts or stories, communicate with subscribers through community messages, print QR codes with a link to the group. Ask subscribers and clients to tag the page in their posts.
Getting a profile mark using a VK group
Here is one of the best ways to get a tick on your VK page. You can visit special groups that will help you put a mark next to your name. You don't need to be famous or have a popular band.
Procedure:
- Open your VKontakte profile;
- Write the phrase “This page is officially verified” at the top of the search and click the button to start the search;
- Select the group with the maximum number of subscribers in the first lines of results;
- Next, you need to subscribe or join it;
- Then follow the link https://vk.com/edit?act=career or open your profile settings and select “Career”;
- Select the “Place of Work” field and click on the name of the group you just joined;
- Click the "Save" button;
- Now return to the main page and find your new checkmark there.
Now you can brag to your friends that you are now a celebrity. In order for the blue mark to be visible to other users, your profile must be public.
Let's make sure that the checkbox will be available to all VKontakte users:
- Select the “Settings” button in the top bar next to your name;
- Click on the “Privacy” item;
- Make sure that the first item, “Who sees basic information...” is set to “Everyone.”
It is important not to get confused. This community is not an official VK group. This is an ordinary group, the moderators of which have found a way to provide anyone with a check mark. As soon as the group is blocked by the real administration, the checkmark from your page will immediately disappear, which can happen at any time. In the search you can find other similar communities with the same function.
On Android or iPhone
In order for the private official VK checkmark to appear on your Android phone or iPhone, you will definitely need to install Yandex.Browser, and definitely the full version - the Light version will not help you. After you download the specified application from the Play Market or App Store, you can use these instructions.
- Go to the Yandex start page and go to VK. Log in to the social network by entering your username and password.
- Open the drop-down menu, scroll down and touch “Full Version”.
- Now copy the following address into the search bar: https://clck.ru/ExdYJ
- Follow the link and click on the “Install” button in the upper right corner.
- Confirm the action.
- After the program downloads, go to your profile tab and update it. The symbol you need will appear next to your name.
Extension for Google Chrome browser
In the popular Internet browser Chrome, anyone can download an extension that allows you to tick your own box. If this browser is not on your computer, you need to download it. Then go to the extension store page - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions?hl=en.
Further procedure:
- There is a search bar at the top left, enter “VKontakte checkbox” in it and click the “Find” button;
- You will see several results. They are not always displayed on the topic. Sometimes extensions may be for other purposes. Select the desired extension and click the “Install” button;
Install the “Private VKontakte checkbox” extension - A check mark icon will appear at the top of the browser bar. Now go to your account using Google Chrome and you will see that you already have a special about src=»https://it-doc.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/GalochkavVK_plug2.png» class=»aligncenter » width=»600″ height=»500″[/img]
When you hover your cursor over the blue mark, a message will appear indicating that the page has been verified. Since the checkmark is private, only you will see it. And only through a browser in which such an extension is installed.

How to put a unique mark for a VK group
In order for a checkmark to be placed next to the name of your community or group on VKontakte, you must also pass verification. As with the VK profile, the administration must provide the appropriate supporting documents. This can be done using the same application form (link above).
Unfortunately, you will not be able to get a blue mark using the methods described above. You can install it for your group only officially from the administration of the social network. But before you apply, check that the community pages do not contain spam, malicious links, or any kind of encouragement of prohibited activities on the service. The relevant pages should not contain descriptions containing emoticons, symbols or other “decorations”. VKontakte is also quite strict about advertising in groups. Administrators should not publish more than 5 advertising posts per day.
As we can see, the process of obtaining an official tick in VK is quite difficult. But if you use the services offered, you can quickly stand out among your friends and acquaintances.
Hidden hat
The header on the VKontakte website is the top toolbar on which your profile settings, search, notifications and music are located. This panel is pinned to the top of the page and is always visible. If it annoys you, or you want some innovation, you can hide it. In order to hide this panel, you will need to download an extension called “VkOpt” from the Google store. How to download and install the extension is described above in the material.
