The Verified Badge is here!

The Twitch Verified Badge means that Twitch has verified the identity of the user who has the badge. When you see the purple checkmark in chat, you’ll know that user is the real deal. (That way you don’t confuse Summit1G with SummitlG when he drops into your chat!)

All Twitch Partners will be automatically granted access to the Verified Badge. (Insert Oprah “You get a badge! and You get a badge!” meme here.) The Verified Badge uses the same the global badge slot shared by Twitch Prime, Turbo, Bits, or other badges received from a Twitch Crate opening, which means that the badge can be toggled on and off by the Verified user. This gives Verified users the option to go “incognito”.

We will be developing a policy on which additional users might qualify for this badge in the coming months.
