File under “can’t believe it didn’t happen sooner“: Facebook launched verified pages and profiles for public figures today.

“Verified Pages belong to a small group of prominent public figures (celebrities, journalists, government officials, popular brands and businesses) with large audiences,” Facebook said.

Some Pages are already verified. User profiles will see the feature soon, the company said.

Facebook will adopt a small blue icon with a check mark inside it, similar to the one pioneered by Twitter, to designate Verified Pages.
