What are the criteria to get verified on OpenSea?
To get verified on OpenSea, you need to buy at least one NFT in the last three months.
Your account needs to have an email address, profile picture, and a banner.
OpenSea reviews account verification requests in four categories.
Firstly, you’ll have a higher chance of getting accepted if you’re notable in art, entertainment, technology, music, sports, gaming, news, politics, or activism (e.g. Rob Gronkowski).
You can also be notable in artistic, technical, or social innovations (e.g. Simon de la Rouviere).
Secondly, accounts that are more likely to be verified are the ones with severe fraud risk (e.g. Budweiser).
Lastly, being verified on another social media platform will also increase your chances of getting verified on OpenSea.
Who is ineligible for an OpenSea verification?
Accounts that engage in manipulative or deceptive buying, selling, bidding, and offers are ineligible for an OpenSea verification.
Accounts that use copyrighted material or trademarks without a license are also ineligible.
In addition, you need to be 18 and above to apply for an OpenSea verification.
Lastly, any account that violates OpenSea’s terms of service will not be accepted.

Conclusion
If you’re not a public figure, it’s very hard to get verified on OpenSea.
This is because blue checkmarks are reserved for collections created by high-profile public figures or organizations.
If you’re not a high-profile public figure or organization, your collection needs to have a trading volume of 100 ETH or more.
In addition, you need to have all collections items revealed.
Even so, it does not guarantee that you’ll get verified.
OpenSea may require you to provide additional information such as draft files of the collection and contact information.
This is to confirm the authenticity of the collection and the individual.
