Estimated reading: 3 minutes

Facebook Business Verification is distinct from Facebook Page Verification and has additional advantages. You have access to a variety of tools and products when you validate your Facebook Business Manager account, and it serves as a prerequisite for using the WhatsApp Business API to create chatbots.

In addition, people are more likely to trust a verified Facebook business manager account.

What are some common reasons of Facebook Business Verification rejection?

If the Legal Name and Address document have different addresses – Please make sure that all documents have the same address.
The provided website URL does not contain the business’ legal name – Make sure your website’s footer includes the legal name of your business.
Business Email not used at the time of verification – Please ensure that you use your business email when applying for verification.

After completing business verification, you may always go back to Security Center and change your information. Any modifications, however, will necessitate a fresh business verification process from you.

Before Meta tries to verify your business again, they might ask for your ID if they’re unable to do so the first time. Meta may require you to provide additional evidence, such as a certificate of incorporation or a company license to confirm that your business is registered if they are unable to validate your business in your initial submission.
