Meta Business Verification is the process of submitting legal documents (registration certificate, utility bill, website) to prove the business behind a WhatsApp Business Account is real. Verification is required to unlock higher messaging tiers, the green tick and official business display.
Documents typically accepted in India: Udyam, Certificate of Incorporation, business PAN, or a recent utility bill in the business name. The legal name on the document must match the legal business name in Meta Business Manager exactly.
Review usually completes in 1-3 business days. A rejected verification can be re-submitted after fixing the documents.
