Also, the account must represent a familiar character, brand or entity that gets many searches.
"Accounts with verification badges belong to well-known public figures, celebrities and global brands," read the Instagram Information Center.
"We review accounts that are featured in many news sources, and we do not treat sponsored content or sponsored media content as review sources."
Instagram even warns that misleading information can lead to account disabling: "Keep in mind that if you receive a verified tag using incorrect or misleading information during the verification process, we will remove the verified tag and we may even take further action to disable your account."
