Verify your WhatsApp display name

Why Meta rejects a display name, and what passes.

Your display name is what customers see at the top of the chat. Meta reviews it because it is the main signal a customer has that they are talking to a real business.

What Meta accepts

  • Your registered business name, or a well-known trading name
  • A name that matches your website, your page and your documents
  • A product or brand name you can show you own

What gets rejected

  • A generic word or category, such as "Delivery" or "Boutique"
  • A name containing a phone number, a URL, or a promotional phrase
  • A name unrelated to anything Meta can verify about your business
  • Misleading use of another brand's name
