Apply for WhatsApp blue tick
Step-by-step guide to obtaining the official verified badge for your WhatsApp Business account.
The 'Blue Tick' on WhatsApp (officially the Green Tick or Official Business Account badge) signifies that Meta has verified your brand as a notable and authentic entity. This badge appears next to your business name even if the customer hasn't saved your contact, building immediate trust.
Complete Business Verification
Before you can apply for the verified badge, your Meta Business Manager must have the 'Verified' status. Ensure you have submitted all legal documents and they have been approved by Meta.
Enable 2FA on Business Manager
Meta requires high security for verified accounts. Ensure that Two-Factor Authentication is enabled for all administrators in your Business Manager settings.
Gather Notability Links
WhatsApp looks for brands that are frequently mentioned in the news. Prepare 3-5 links to articles from reputable, non-paid news sources (e.g., TechCrunch, Forbes, national newspapers) that feature your business.
Submit Application via Meta Suite
Go to WhatsApp Manager > Phone Numbers. Click on the 'Settings' (gear icon) for your number and select 'Official Business Account'. Fill in the form, attach your notability links, and submit for review.
