Verified pages or profiles (verified seal on profiles) are important part of google+ that helps identify authenticity of any google+ page or profile.

With the recent introduction of Google+ Vanity URL or Custom URL which at the moment only available to some verified pages or profile, makes us wonder how to request for a page verification?

The good news is they have published a web based process for page verification. A simple request form (refer image) for pages that represent a commercial entity, organization, brand or product.

The bad news is, there is no way to submit verification request for individual or personal profiles. As far as we know it’s a manual process by Google+ team to contact popular profile owners based on their active role in G+ and followers count.
