Introduction:

Facebook Business Manager Verification is necessary in order to get complete access to your WhatsApp Business API account. While it is possible to use the WhatsApp Business API without verifying your Facebook Business Manager account, your access will be limited. In this blog, we'll provide step-by-step instructions on how to verify your Facebook Business Manager account in order to fully utilize the potential of the WhatsApp Business API for your business.

What is Facebook Business Verification:

Facebook Business Manager Verification allows Facebook to determine whether the account belongs to a legitimate business or organization. In order to verify your Facebook Business Manager account, you will need to provide Facebook with certain legal documents, including information about your business and proof of access to the business such as an official business email.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Go to Facebook Business Manager and choose the account that you want to verify. If you do not have a Facebook Business Manager account, you can create one.
2. Navigate to the Security Centre and click on the "Start Verification" button. If the button is greyed out or not visible, you may need to follow some additional steps to enable it.
3. Click "Get Started" and choose the country where your business is primarily based.
4. Fill in your organization's details, including the exact name and address as listed on your legal documents. Be sure to only enter the location of your business in the address field, not the state or zip code.
5. Choose the primary business category, and It can take up to a few weeks for Facebook to review your application and decide whether to verify your account. If your application is approved, you will receive a notification from Facebook and your account will be verified. If your application is denied, you will need to provide additional information or make changes to your account in order to be eligible for verification.

Tips for Success:

• Upload a copy of your legal documents. Make sure the image is clear, in color, and shows the entire document.
• Provide your business website and official business email. The website must include the exact legal business name at the footer.
• Click "Submit" to complete the verification process.

• Make sure all of your information is accurate and up-to-date.
• Double-check that the name and address you provide match the information on your legal documents.
• Ensure that your website includes the exact legal business name at the footer.
• Use an official business email when applying for verification.
