What a cutie!! did you buy the kitten from a reputable breeder? Were you given papers for him? Your profile picture is small but to me (I am no expert), he looks like a doll faced Persian and if I'm not mistaken, they are not considered show quality. They are pet quality. I have 2 myself. Without papers they are considered to be domestic longhaired. I will defer to @posiepurrs  on this one though. She has 2 gorgeous show quality Persians. She will more than likely ask you to post some more (bigger) pics of your kitten who really is adorable, by the way. I am a sucker for those sweet faces.

Persians have a flat face. Your kitten doesn't. He does look like he might have Persian in him tho

Your kitten does look Persian. The doll faced (traditional) Persian has a more pronounced nose than the standard for Persians accepted for show today.

Look at the white cat in the picture on the right in the link. Look familiar?

I have 2 doll faced Persians myself. They are gorgeous cats. Your kitten is absolutely precious.

One of my two has the longer hair and one has shorter hair but it's still longer than my DSH male. Do yourself a favor and get him used to a grooming routine ASAP. My Sophie's hair length looks similar to your kitten's. That is a really cute little baby.
