Why does it fail and how is it essential to your Official WhatsApp application's success?

To simply explain what the Facebook Business Verification does for your WhatsApp Official Application: It confirms your business' identity, so that the information gets reviewed WhatsApp, in order for you to get an Official WhatsApp number.

In order to better help you understand why you got rejected by WhatsApp, you can check the following points

  1. Documents are either incomplete or invalid, which includes:

    • Business Registrations that are outdated

    • Address and Phone Numbers within the Business Verification step does not match your Business Registration documents + Business Info on Facebook

    • If documents cannot be clearly read

    • Documents that were submitted did not match business name in Facebook or information filled in the Business Settings > Business Info section of Facebook Business

    • You can refer to the Facebook guide here in order to understand specifically what documents you need

  2. Documents submitted in unsupported languages

  3. Missing follow up documents requested by Facebook through their email replies

    • Please ensure to check your emails (that was submitted in the Business Verification) that all additional documents are provided

  4. Submitting the Facebook Business Verification multiple times in a short time span
