Badges are earned in Foursquare by checking into various venues. Some cities have city-specific badges that can only be earned in a specific city. Foursquare has, however, changed the way they handle badges, and now when a user gains a badge, he or she has the same badges across all cities. Once a badge is earned by a user, it will remain on that user's profile indefinitely.

There are also a number of "partner" badges that can be unlocked by following a specific brand on foursquare. The user must first follow the brand page on foursquare and see the brandstips on relevant venues and tips on how to unlock their partner badges.[1]

The table below shows the current foursquare active badges.
