Verified Meta Business Manager
Your business must show “Business verified” in Business Settings → Security Center, not “In review”.
Solutions › WhatsApp Business API › Blue Tick Verification
The old WhatsApp green tick is now a blue tick. There are two ways to get it, one for the WhatsApp Business App and one for the API. Here is what Meta checks, the documents you need, and how Sukam Apps helps you prepare.
Which route you take depends on whether you use the free WhatsApp Business App on a phone or the WhatsApp Business API with a team inbox.
| Meta Verified (WhatsApp Business App) | Official Business Account (WhatsApp Business API) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Shops and small businesses using the app on one phone | Businesses using the API with a team inbox, CRM or chatbot |
| How to apply | In the app: Settings or Business Tools → Meta Verified → choose a plan | Through your API provider, from Meta Business Manager |
| Cost | Monthly subscription to Meta (plans in India start from about ₹639 a month; check the current price in the app) | No separate Meta fee to apply; you need an active API account |
| What Meta checks | Your identity and business documents | Verified business, website, active usage history and brand trust signals |
| Guaranteed? | No, Meta reviews each request | No, Meta reviews each request |
Badge rules and prices are set by Meta and can change. Confirm in the WhatsApp Business App or Meta Business Manager before applying.
For the API route, the option to request the badge only appears in Meta Business Manager once these are in place:
Your business must show “Business verified” in Business Settings → Security Center, not “In review”.
Your website domain is verified in Business Manager, and the site shows your business name, services and contact details.
A new or idle number is not eligible. Meta looks for real conversations, approved templates in use and low block rates.
The same business name on your website, Facebook Page, Business Manager and WhatsApp profile.
Meta verifies your legal business first. Keep one of these ready, with the legal name and address exactly matching your business profile:
The most common document Indian businesses use for Meta verification.
For private limited companies and LLPs.
Accepted for many proprietorships, along with a utility bill in the business name.
A working website and an email like name@yourbusiness.com speed up verification.
An active Page connected to your Business Manager.
Your WhatsApp display name should match your brand, with no extra keywords.
No. Every feature of the WhatsApp Business API, including broadcasts, chatbots, team inbox and CRM link, works without the blue tick. The badge mainly builds customer trust and protects you from fake accounts using your brand name. For most small and mid-size businesses, a verified Meta business and a clean display name matter more than the badge itself.
On the WhatsApp Business App, subscribe to Meta Verified from Settings or Business Tools. On the WhatsApp Business API, request an Official Business Account through your provider once your Meta business and website are verified and your number has active usage.
Yes. Meta replaced the green tick with a blue verified badge. Businesses that already had the green tick kept their verified status.
Meta Verified for the WhatsApp Business App is a monthly subscription; plans in India start from about ₹639 a month (check the current price in the app). Requesting the badge through the API has no separate Meta fee, but you need an active API account.
No. Only Meta decides who gets the badge, and no provider can guarantee it. We help you prepare documents, verify your business and website, and set up your profile so your request is as strong as possible.
Meta business verification usually takes a few days once correct documents are submitted. The blue tick decision usually takes about 7 to 30 days after you request it.
Common reasons are an unverified business, document details that don’t match your profile, a new or inactive number, or an inconsistent brand name. Fix the reason Meta gives and reapply after the waiting period.
Yes. Broadcasts, chatbots, team inbox and CRM integration all work without the badge.
