How to Verify Your Business on Meta

Meta Verified for Business is a subscription service that enhances your business's visibility, support, and security across Meta's platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.

Do You Need Business Verification?

Verification is not required for all businesses. You only need to complete this process if:

• You plan to use certain Meta tools, such as APIs or developer features.
• You have received a direct notification or email from Meta requesting verification.

Before You Begin

Ensure your business portfolio (formerly known as Business Manager) is eligible for verification. You must have full administrative control over it. Provide accurate information, as Meta may deny verification or take action against your account if misleading details are submitted.

Steps to Verify Your Business

1. Navigate to the Security Center within your Meta business portfolio.
2. Select the "Start verification" option. This may also appear in Meta Ads Manager, Commerce Manager, or the App Developer Dashboard.
3. Enter your business details, including your legal business name, address, phone number, and a live, HTTPS-secure website.
4. Confirm your details. If Meta matches them to public records, choose your business from the list provided. If not, upload supporting documents such as a business license or articles of incorporation.
5. Verify your connection to the business by selecting one of the following methods: email (must match your domain), phone call/text/WhatsApp message, or domain verification (requiring access to your website's hosting or DNS settings).
6. Click "Done" to complete the process.

What to Expect After Submission

Verification decisions can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 14 business days. You will receive a notification once the process is complete. If approved, your business is verified. Note that if you update any business details later, you will need to reverify.
