Requirements before you apply

The checklist Meta actually applies.

Most rejected applications fail on one of a small number of things. Working through this list first saves a round trip.

Business requirements

  • A registered business with documents that match the name you submit
  • A Facebook Business Manager account
  • A website or public presence describing your business
  • A business that does not fall under Meta's prohibited categories

Number requirements

  • A number you own and can receive a verification code on
  • A number not currently registered on WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business
  • A number able to receive an SMS or a voice call for verification
