Gold check and blue check

What each one means and how to get a blue check.

Updated October 30, 2026

Gold check

Given by our team, by hand, to trusted people and organizations of real note. It can't be bought or applied for.

Blue check

For Pro members. To apply:

  1. Finish your profile: photo, name, bio and at least one social link.
  2. Apply from your dashboard.
  3. Our team reviews your profile by hand.

It needs Pro

The blue check shows only while you're on Pro. If your Pro plan ends, your check is hidden from your page. Renew Pro and it comes right back, with no new review.

Why it can pause

If you change your name or photo, your blue check pauses until we review the change. This stops a checked account being turned into someone else.

NoteIf you have both, the gold check shows.
