How to Verify Your Business on Meta

Overview​

Meta Verified for Business is a paid subscription that enhances your business's visibility, support, and protection on Meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

Do You Need Business Verification?​

Not every business requires verification. Consider verifying your business if:

  • You intend to use specific Meta tools, like APIs or developer features.
  • You've received a notification or email from Meta requesting verification.

Before You Start​

  • Ensure your business portfolio (formerly known as Business Manager) is eligible for verification.
  • You must have full control over the business portfolio.
  • Avoid submitting false information, as Meta may deny verification or take action against your account if any misleading details are found.

Steps to Verify Your Business​

  1. Access the Security Centre
    Navigate to the Security Centre within your Meta Business portfolio.

  2. Initiate Verification
    Click on "Start verification." This option may also appear in Meta Ads Manager, Commerce Manager, or the App Developer Dashboard.

  3. Enter Your Business Details
    Provide the following information:

    • Legal business name
    • Address
    • Phone number
    • Website (must be live and HTTPS-secure)

  4. Confirm the Details

    • If Meta can match your details with public records, select your business from the list.
    • If not, upload documents such as a business license or articles of incorporation.

  5. Verify Your Connection to the Business
    Choose one of the following methods:

    • Email (must match your domain)
    • Phone call / Text / WhatsApp message
    • Domain verification (requires access to your website’s hosting or DNS settings)

  6. Complete the Process
    Click Done once you have finished.

What Happens Next?​

  • Verification decisions can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 14 working days.
  • You will be notified once the process is complete.
  • If approved, your business is verified!
  • Note that if you change any business details later, you will need to verify again.
