Organizations, meanwhile, can get a more useful checkmark. Twitter started accepting applications for gray checkmarks that verify government officials and organizations. In this case, the criteria are stricter — applicants must use either a government ID or a valid email address, along with a description of their job title and function.
Companies can now apply for golden checkmarks.
Twitter also announced that the previously confirmed blue checkmarks should disappear on April 1. Of course, for Blue subscribers, they will remain.
