How To Get Verified On Spotify

Verified profiles have this blue mark badge as well as access to many features that are only available to verified artists. The badge is an indication that the artist has gained control over his data and public information. Below you will find all the exclusive features that are automatically unlocked once your artist profile is verified.

Obtaining a blue mark badge and getting verified is a must-do for every artist. If you want to increase your chances of getting added to an editorial playlist, you definitely need to get through the Spotify artist verification process. You will know the outcome of your attempt by getting (or not getting) the blue checkmark next to your Spotify artist profile. If you succeed, the listeners will think more highly of you as an artist, and the curators are more likely to consider you a viable option for their playlist. This is a must-grab opportunity to look more professional. In addition, you will gain access to a multitude of interesting locked assets that will help you enhance the quality of your profile.

Passing through the Spotify verification process opens a lot of doors for you as an artist. These insights will help you get your track heard by a larger audience that includes both listeners and curators. It will be much more encouraging for those curators to examine your song if they see that you are a verified artist, but that also increases the chances of getting added to a user's playlist.

Here are all the features available only to verified artists:

 

· Access to Spotify streaming analytics and statistics

 

· A blue-marked badge next to your artist name

 

· Full control over your profile data, including the ability to change your image, biography, links, etc

 

· Possibility of posting upcoming gigs and tour dates

 

· The ability to attach a custom image to a playlist and pin it as an "Artist's Pick"

 

· The ability to add a direct PayPal support button through which fans can make donations directly to your PayPal account

The verification process that all artists must go through includes four simple steps. On an effort to make it easier for you to complete the process, we have listed below those five steps in detail.

Step 1 · Log into your Spotify account using either a smartphone or a desktop PC.

Step 2 · In order to access the "artist verification" section, you either need to visit that link using a browser on a desktop computer or download the app and go through a mobile device. If you choose the mobile app method to go through, all you have to do is press the "Claim your profile" button after you login to your Spotify account.

Step 3 · After pressing the "Claim your profile" button, you will be requested to fill in your artist name and opt for one of the two options, "Manager representing an artist" or "Artist". Pick the "artist" if you represent yourself.

Step 4 · Spotify will ask you to fill out a series of personal details to help them verify that your attempt is legitimate and that you have the legal right to proceed. Fill in the required information carefully.

Step 5 · Now all you have to do is it wait a couple of days till the Spotify team checks your application and assigns (or rejects) artist access to your account.
