How to Verify Your Business on Meta

Meta Verified for Business is a paid subscription that helps businesses get better visibility, support, and protection on Meta platforms (like Facebook and Instagram).

 Do You Need Business Verification?

Not every business needs to be verified.

You only need to verify your business if:

    •    You’re trying to use certain Meta tools (e.g., APIs, developer features)

    •    You received a notification or email asking you to verify

Before You Start

    •    Make sure your business portfolio (previously called Business Manager) is eligible for verification.

    •    You must have full control of the business portfolio.

    •    Don’t submit false info—Meta can deny verification or take action on your account if they find misleading details.

 Steps to Verify Your Business

    1.    Go to the Security Centre in your Meta Business portfolio.

    2.    Click “Start verification.”(You might also see this in Meta Ads Manager, Commerce Manager, or App Developer Dashboard) 

    3.    Enter your business details:

    •    Legal business name

    •    Address

    •    Phone number

    •    Website (must be live and HTTPS-secure)

    4.    Confirm the details:

    •    If Meta can match them to public records, select your business from the list.

    •    If not, upload documents like 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 (you’ll need access to your website’s hosting or DNS settings)

    6.    Click Done once finished.

 What Happens Next?

    •    Verification decisions can take 10 minutes to 14 working days.

    •    You’ll be notified once it’s complete.

    •    If approved—you’re all set!

    •    If you change any business details later, you’ll need to verify again.
