After completing the formal procedure and being authenticated by Twitter, a blue official mark will be added next to the account name.The official account of Mynavi News also has an authentication badge.

This is a Twitter authentication badge provided to prevent fake accounts of celebrities, public institutions, companies, etc., but it was suspended in November 2017 due to operational problems. After a blank of about three and a half years, we resumed accepting applications with a new certification program in May 2021.
