Getting verified as an artist on Spotify is a no-brainer. And luckily, Spotify verification is open to every single artist on the platform – plus it’s really easy to do.
It also boasts a lot more opportunities than a nice-looking blue tick next to your name. More than simply legitimising your profile to fans and listeners, claiming your Spotify profile and getting verified means you can unlock some really useful features to help market and promote your music on the platform!
And turns out, it’s really simple to do! So we’ve broken it down for you into a series of short steps.

How do artists get verified on Spotify?
Step 1 – Claim your profile on Spotify for Artists
First, you’ll need to put your music on Spotify.
Once you’ve released it there, go to artists.spotify.com to claim your profile.
When you get there, select the hamburger icon in the top right corner, as shown below.
Then select “Get Access” from the options menu.
Step 2 – Confirm your account
Next, enter your Spotify login details to confirm your account.
Spotify will then check to make sure it’s you (just incase).
Step 3 – Search for your artist profile
Once you’ve confirmed it’s the right account, select whether you’re claiming as an artist/manager or label team member.
You’ll be able to find your artist profile by searching, or copying and pasting a URL link.
Step 4 – Fill in a few questions about yourself
Spotify will then require you to fill in some info about the artist profile you’re claiming.
This will include your:
– First Name
– Last Name
– Business Email
– Role i.e Artist, Manager etc
– Company (if applicable)
Step 5 – Verify your profile submission
Finally, to verify your submission, you’ll need to connect to either your Instagram or Twitter social profiles, or copy and paste a link to your official artist website.
Then click “Submit.”
And you’re done! As easy as 1,2,3 (4,5..).
Now remember, it can take a couple of days for Spotify to confirm your verification submission. But you’ll know you’ve been verified when that little blue tick appears by your artist name.
And if you wanna see the process in action, here’s Spotify’s official vid for the verification submission process!
