This verification is essential for gaining full access to the WhatsApp Business API.
Here are the documents you need to apply for Facebook Business Manager verification:
- Legal details of your business, including the business name, address, and contact information.
- A legal document showing the business’s legal name and address, such as a GST or bank statement.
- A working website that mentions the exact legal business name in the footer.
- Proof of access to the business, like an official business email with the same domain as your website.
