WhatsApp Green Check Request ✅
In this article, we will show you how to request the green check from your Business Manager
Please note that the request is subject to review and approval by META, according to the established notability criteria for applicant companies.
For a business to be notable, it must represent a well-known brand or entity with frequent searches. This fact should not be taken as proof of the authenticity of the business. A business is considered authentic if it has passed business verification, which verifies it as a legal entity and verifies its access to the business.
On the other hand, notability reflects a significant presence in online news articles. Notability is evaluated based on the presence of an account in news articles from publications with a significant audience. We do not consider paid or promotional content as a source for review, including business or application advertisements.
Official business accounts are issued for the scope of phone number and display name. We evaluate the notability of the display name of the business account requesting OBA status. If the display name changes after receiving OBA status, we must re-evaluate the notability and display name compliance of the new name. Also, previous OBA approvals of a WhatsApp Business account do not guarantee the approval of other numbers (with different display names) associated with that account. If your WABA account contains a main general brand and the phone number associated with the brand meets the notability requirements, it is recommended to update the display names of the secondary brands as follows: " of ".
Denied Requests
If your OBA request has been denied, it means that the META team has carefully reviewed your account and, unfortunately, OBA status is not applicable in your case at this time. At this time, these decisions cannot be appealed.
Businesses can continue to expand their presence and wait 30 days before resubmitting an official business account request. It may take some time for the business's presence in news articles to become established.
In the meantime, this decision does not limit your ability to share business details. Each phone number also has a business profile that includes a profile picture, email address, website, and business description. You can edit these fields at any time.
