WeChat is testing a new beta function to individual users, and now select individuals who have been selected
as part of the beta testing process see an option to verify their personal WeChat Accounts.

So, who can verify their WeChat Account? WeChat Account verification for individuals is basically divided
into 3 main categories:

1. Public Figures

2. Key Industry Figures and Creators

3. Professional Identity Verification

What does verification allow you to do with your account?

It used to be that only businesses or personal blogs could register for an official WeChat Account and
publish articles under their blog or business names. Personal users have been able to register previously,
but now the added function is individuals without a blog, who may be public figures, creators, or topic experts can have an official WeChat Account under their own name. Below is an example of how a verified WeChat Account for individuals would look like.

Verified personal users would be able to publish articles related to their area of expertise to share with
their followers.

Verifying your personal WeChat Account is currently free and once you have verified your account, there
is no end date for your verification at the moment.

If you fall within the 3 key categories open for personal WeChat Account verification, keep an eye out
for when the function is made available to you so you can start sharing your expertise with your WeChat
followers!
