Google Play Store rolling out govt verified badge to eligible apps
Google Play Store begins rolling out verified a badge to apps affiliated with the govt. In a recent development, it has been spotted that UMANG and ABHA apps got a new govt verified badge on Google Play Store in India.
The company last month revealed that government-verified badges will be rolled out in 12 countries. While the availability is reported to expand gradually, Google didn’t reveal which countries are listed in the initial 12 crew.

It’s worth noting that this change has been implemented in Google Play Store version 39.7.34. It’s a server-side change that the Android maker is deploying in eligible countries like India on targeted applications.
It’s a great move by Google, as part of greatly reducing fraud through spam apps. Many countries nowadays offer digital ways to facilitate with govt schemes and services, which are available through apps too.
