WhatsApp as a globally popular real-time communication software, has become the top choice for online marketing due to its high penetration rate and message read rate. Having a stable WhatsApp Business account can significantly improve communication and customer acquisition efficiency, especially the verified WhatsApp Green Tick business account. This not only represents official identity recognition but also indicates the account’s security and stability. A Green Tick verified account means it has passed WhatsApp’s strict review process, reducing the risk of account suspension due to security control issues and ensuring long-term stability and credibility. This article will detail the process and tips for applying for WhatsApp Business and obtaining the WhatsApp Green Tick verification.
Download and Register WhatsApp Business
iPhone users can download it directly from the App Store, and Android users can download it via Google Play.
- iPhone: WhatsApp Business on App Store
- Android: WhatsApp Business on Google Play
Once downloaded, open the app and enter your phone number to register. However, many WhatsApp Business accounts may encounter issues with not receiving the verification code. In this case, try turning off Bluetooth, location, and WiFi, switch the VPN node and timezone to the United States, and retry receiving the code.
Maintaining a Good Status for WhatsApp Business Account
To apply for WhatsApp Green Tick business account verification, you need to go to the “Tools” section in WhatsApp Business, click on Meta Verified, and upload the required materials. However, the Meta Verified button is not available for every account. To access the Meta Verified application, your WhatsApp Business account needs to maintain an active and good status.
To make your WhatsApp Business account active, first, you need to provide detailed and accurate business information. Meta requires the applicant to be a legitimate individual, company, or brand. Ensure that your account displays valid and accurate business information, including company name, contact information, business address, description, email, and website link.
After completing the information, the next step is to engage in active social activities using your WhatsApp Business account. Meta may evaluate your interactions with customers, and active engagement (such as replying to messages, creating ads, etc.) can help increase the chances of verification.
Usually, a WhatsApp Business account needs a lot of message exchanges to unlock the Meta Verified button. This process often requires a significant amount of work, and if you interact with strangers but don’t receive responses or get reported frequently, your account may be suspended, further complicating the verification process. WADesk’s automatic intelligent account warming up feature can solve this problem. If you have multiple WhatsApp Business accounts, you can log them into WADesk for mutual chatting to warm up the accounts.
If you want to further increase the account's activity level, you can add the account to WADesk’s account pool (Account Pool Interaction) and engage in automatic mutual chatting with other users. This way, not only can you improve activity through reaching out to strangers, but you can also avoid the risk of account suspension caused by non-replies or reports.
Through WADesk's intelligent account nurturing, our WhatsApp Business will quickly become active. We just need to monitor the "Tools" section of the WhatsApp Business app daily, and once the Meta Verified button appears, we can submit certification for approval.
Starting the WhatsApp Green Tick Certification Application
Once you have the following materials ready, you can submit your WhatsApp Green Tick certification application:
- Company Business License or Registration Certificate: This is the legal document proving the existence of your company or brand. It should include information such as the company name, registration number, and registered address.
- Legal Representative Identification: Provide identification documents of the company’s legal representative or owner, such as an ID card or passport.
- Company Contact Information: This includes your company’s official website link, business email, social media accounts, etc.
- Business Website: If available, provide the company’s official website address. This can help Meta verify that you are a legitimate and valid business entity.
- Tax Registration Certificate (if applicable): This is another document proving the legitimacy of your company, depending on regional requirements.
In most cases, it will take about 7 to 14 days to receive the certification result. If the WhatsApp Green Tick certification application is rejected, there will typically be a clear reason provided, along with information on whether reapplication is possible. In most cases, after a rejection, you can reapply after 30 days.
Summary
WhatsApp Green Tick certification can greatly increase our WhatsApp messaging volume and enhance business credibility, but the certification conditions are quite strict. If you want your WhatsApp Business to quickly unlock the Meta Verified entry, WADesk account nurturing is definitely your best choice.
