Facebook has started rolling out this update. Pages and then profile will get the verification check mark. Facebook will verify each page and profile before awarding this verification badge.
“Some well-known public figures and Pages with large followings (ex: celebrities, journalists, government officials, popular brands and businesses) are verified by Facebook as having an authentic identity. You’ll see a blue badge next to their names. Hover over the blue badge on a verified profile or Page to learn more,” Facebook explains about verified pages and profiles.
