A verified icon has appeared on Telegram founder Pavel Durov’s account, labeled “This account has been verified by Telegram representatives.” Sources indicate this internal verification system will likely remain exclusive to Telegram employees.

Meanwhile, “Durova’s Code” clarifies that while Telegram doesn’t directly verify personal accounts, third-party organizations have offered verification services since early 2024. Separately, Telegram launched an official @CheckAgeBot in late July, currently UK-only, using facial scanning for age verification. Experts suggest this tool may expand to Russia in the future.
