The Complete Guide to Meta Business Verification for WhatsApp
Verifying your Meta Business Account is the most crucial step to remove sending limits on your WhatsApp Cloud API account. Before verification, you are limited to sending 250 template messages per 24 hours. After verification, this limit is immediately raised to 1,000 messages daily, and can scale to an unlimited number over time.
Required Documents for Verification
Meta requires two types of recent, official documents to verify your business:
- Proof of Legal Business Name: Commercial Register, Business License, or Certificate of Incorporation. (The business name on Meta must exactly match the name on the official document).
- Proof of Address and Phone Number: A utility bill in the company's name (electricity, water, or landline phone), a bank statement, or a National Address Registration certificate.
Steps for Verification from Meta Business Manager
- Go to the Security Center via Meta Business Settings.
- In the "Business Verification" section, click Start Verification.
- Enter your company details exactly as they appear on your Commercial Register.
- Upload the required documents.
- Choose a contact verification method (SMS, phone call, or a business email ending with your website domain).
