Flipboard is one of the most popular news aggregators and social network aggregation sites in the world. Therefore, having your profile verified is a big plus more so if you are a publisher. A verified badge is a red check that appears on a Flipboard account profile. It means Flipboard has confirmed that an account is the authentic presence of the publisher, public figure, celebrity, or the brand it represents. An account may be verified if it is determined to be an account of public interest.
Typically this includes accounts maintained by those in media, journalism, music, entertainment, government, politics, sports, business, and other key interest areas. The verified checkmark on Flipboard signifies an account of a public interest that’s authentic. A verified checkmark tells the world that an account belonging to a person, publication or brand is who they say they are and has been verified by the Flipboard team. It also represents quality content and curation.

The Flipboard Verification Program aims to give users the ability to discern the validity of a profile before they follow or engage with the person, publisher or brand. Flipboard looks at a number of factors when evaluating Flipboard profiles to determine if they meet Flipboard’s verification criteria and if verification of a profile would improve the user experience. In addition to following Flipboard terms of use and community guidelines, the account also needs to be:
- Authentic: Flipboard profiles must represent a real person, registered business, publisher or entity.
- Unique: Flipboard profiles must be the unique presence of the person, publisher or business it represents.
- Complete: Profiles must have a description/bio, profile photo and at least one magazine set up.
- Quality: Content curation on the platform should provide Flipboard users with a unique point of view, unobtrusive ad experience, and perspective on the area of expertise
