As one in their mid-twenties I am very well adapted to using and utilising social media including Instagram as I do have my own main account and have been in contact with their support system a lot.
I do wish to inform you though... Instagram makes it very difficult to get a verified badge. As far as I know only some public figures, celebrities and brands can get one, and a verified badge cannot be requested or purchased since I think it was about 2014. But that is only to my knowledge so far from the last time I checked in on their TOS. Usually I go to Insta support to go against art thieves and copyright infringers. ^-^
But I am completely willing to work with you right to the end to delve into this more to find out if you can and, if so, what needs to be done! It shouldn't take more than 48 hours to get to the end and find out if can, how to, and then the discover process of getting one.
