Getting your WhatsApp Business API Account Verified:
To initiate the verification process for your WhatsApp Business API account, the primary step is to submit a request to WhatsApp. It’s advisable to proceed through a WhatsApp Business solution provider, as they offer guidance, consultation, and act as intermediaries during this process. Note that some solution providers may charge for their services.
The creation of a WhatsApp Business API account is typically facilitated through solution providers who initially assisted in setting up your account. It’s important to understand that the official verification badge is exclusively available for API accounts.
The verification process generally follows these steps:
Step 1: Verify your Facebook Business Account
Ensure your account status verification by visiting business.facebook.com/settings/info. The process involves:
- Accessing the Security Center within your Facebook Business Manager and initiating the verification process in the Business verification section.
- Inputting your business details.
- Selecting your business.
- Confirming business details.
- Obtaining a verification code or verifying your domain (domain verification nullifies the need for a verification code).
- You can monitor the status of the verification process within the Security Center.
Step 2: Contact a WhatsApp Business Solution Provider

Requirements for Verifying a WhatsApp Business Account:
The specific criteria to acquire a green badge for verification currently remains undisclosed.
WhatsApp specifies that Official business accounts are sanctioned exclusively for prominent businesses. These entail large companies with global recognition and brands possessing substantial brand value.
Furthermore, having utilized your WhatsApp Business API account for several months, and possessing messaging and quality statistics that WhatsApp can evaluate, will increase the likelihood of your application being approved.
