Meta Verified Arrives to UAE and Saudi Arabia

Meta, formerly Facebook, has expanded its premium verification service, Meta Verified, to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The service, which is available on both Facebook and Instagram, offers users greater account support, such as the blue tick mark, exclusive features, and increased visibility.

Subscription to Meta Verified will cost users $14.99 in Saudi Arabia and 46.99 Emirati dirhams ($12.80) in the UAE.

Users must fulfil specific eligibility conditions, such as meeting activity requirements, being 18 years of age or older, and being able to present a government ID that matches the information on their Facebook and Instagram profiles, in order to sign up.

In February, Meta Verified started in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, and Meta has since expanded to the Middle East as part of its global rollout.
