Application Review and Approval

After you have submitted the application, Facebook could take 2-10 business days to review your application. You’ll get a confirmation email if your application was accepted. Additionally, you can monitor the progress of your application in the Security Center.

You might not get a response right away but you will receive a notification if Facebook needs any additional information. In that case, you will need to reply to the same Facebook support case and provide the required supporting documents there.

What should you do in case the application gets rejected

Several factors could lead to the rejection of your verification. You can always question Facebook’s decision and provide the required data to finish your verification.
