Having a verified Official Business Account on WhatsApp gives your brand more trust and visibility. WhatsApp will display your business name - along with a blue checkmark that confirms your business is authentic and notable.
🚨 Requirements
To request a blue checkmark, your business must first be business verified in Facebook Business Manager. 👉 Here’s How to Verify Your Business Manager
Request Blue Checmark
1. Log in to Facebook Business Manager
2. Go to Phone Numbers in WhatsApp Manager: https://business.facebook.com/latest/whatsapp_manager/phone_numbers/
3. Select the Phone Number and click on Profile
4. Scroll down to "Official business account" and click "Submit request".
5. Fill out the form with your company's information. The more information you give the better the chance you will get verified. This may take between 24-48 hours.
🚨 ATTENTION: Was your request denied?
This can happen if META cannot find enough public presence (e.g. media coverage, social relevance) or if they consider your company not notable enough.
Unfortunately, there’s currently no guaranteed solution for this. You’ll need to wait 30 days before you can submit a new request.
