Business Verification Requirements
Meta requires verification of your company's name, contact info, tax details, and content. Here's the breakdown:
Company Name Verification
Submit your Certificate of Incorporation (COI) or GST certificate.
Contact Information
Provide a UDYAM/MSME registration certificate or use an official company domain email (e.g., name@yourcompany.com).
Note: If the MSME certificate lacks a contact number, upload a utility/phone bill under the company's name or use the domain email.
Tax Information
Share your GST number.
Content Verification
Link a company website that clearly explains your business offerings.
Why Meta Verification Matters
Meta's verification process ensures that WhatsApp users don't get spam messages. Businesses can build trust with customers and unlock advanced platform features. Here's how to ace it:
Start with the Basics
Before starting your verification, you need a dedicated phone number (to avoid WhatsApp conflicts) and link it within your Meta Business manager.
Business Verification
You need your COI, GST details, and MSME certificate (if applicable) upfront. You can use a utility bill or your company email if there is no contact number on your MSME certificate.
Your Website is Your Voice
A clear, functional website is needed to validate your business operations. Ensure it highlights your services, contact details, and purpose.
Stay Compliant, Stay Visible
Tax info (like GST) is needed as proof of legitimacy. Your business verification and the rest of the documents should go smoothly.
By organizing these essentials, you'll streamline onboarding, avoid delays, and position your business for success on Meta's powerful platforms. Ready to get verified? Start prepping today!
