How to Get WhatsApp Green Tick Verification in 2026

The green tick on a WhatsApp business profile is the platform's way of telling customers: this is a real, verified business. It increases message open rates, improves trust with new contacts, and reduces the chance of your messages being reported as spam. Here is exactly how to get it.

Why the Green Tick Matters

Beyond aesthetics, verification has measurable business impact:

• Higher open rates: Contacts who see a verified business profile are more likely to open and read messages — verified senders are not perceived as spam
• Increased contact saves: Users are more likely to save a verified number, which improves deliverability for future broadcasts
• Brand name in notifications: Verified businesses display their brand name in message previews rather than just a phone number
• Reduced blocks: Customers are less likely to block a number they recognise as a legitimate verified business

Eligibility Requirements

Meta applies all of the following criteria before granting the verified badge:

Step-by-Step Application Process

1. Complete Meta Business Verification

   Go to Meta Business Manager → Security Centre → Business Verification. You will need to submit a government-issued business registration document or verify your business domain.

2. Set up your WhatsApp Business API via ConvoZap

   If you have not already connected your number to the API, this is the prerequisite step. Complete onboarding and ensure your business profile is fully filled out — name, description, address, website.

3. Enable two-factor authentication

   In ConvoZap's settings panel (or directly in Meta Business Manager → WhatsApp Accounts), enable 2FA with a six-digit PIN.

4. Submit a verification request through Meta

   Navigate to Meta Business Manager → WhatsApp Manager → select your phone number → Profile → Request Official Business Account. Complete the form, providing your business category and website.

5. Wait for Meta's manual review

   Meta reviews applications manually. This typically takes 2–4 weeks, though complex cases can take longer. You will receive an email notification with the outcome.

Common Reasons for Rejection

What Happens After Approval

Once Meta approves your application, the green tick appears automatically on your WhatsApp business profile within 24–48 hours. Your business name (rather than just a phone number) will display in conversation previews for all contacts — even those who have not saved your number. There is no renewal process; the badge remains active as long as your account stays in good standing.
