Facebook Business Verification Guide – Hulul Help Center

Business verification is a process that confirms that a Business Manager account belongs to an actual business or organization in order to use some Facebook products and features such as WhatsApp.

Before we start, you need to have the following prepared:

A Business Manager Account
Access to developer features or WhatsApp for Business
Proof that your business is a legal entity: a business phone number or mailing address
Official documents to verify the business’ name (could be the business license, for example)
Official documents to verify the business address or phone number (could be a utility bill)

The person verifying the business account needs to:

Be an admin for the Business Manager account to be able to submit an ID for verification
Provide a photo of their governmental identity verification
Have proof of access to your business: ability to retrieve a verification code sent to business’ official phone number or email address, or use domain verification to verify access to business.
