Senders in other regions: If you have a verified sender, your display name is visible to the end user. If you have either an approved sender or an approved sender with limited access, the end user can view your display name only in the contact information section of WhatsApp.

You can have up to 250 conversations per day on each of these additional senders. After the display name review is complete, this limit automatically increases to 1,000 conversations.Messaging limits determine the maximum number of business-initiated conversations you can initiate using each of your phone numbers in a rolling 24-hour period.Learn more about Messaging Limits

(Optional) Submit business verification​

To become either an approved sender or a verified sender, you must go through business verification. Skip this step if you want to become an approved sender with limited access or if your business has already been verified by WhatsApp.

Business verification is a way for you to demonstrate to WhatsApp that your business is legitimate. Obtaining business verification offers the following features:

  • Register more than two phone numbers
  • Send templated messages to more than 50 customers daily

You can submit a request for business verification at any time. But we recommends that you submit the request after you complete the embedded signup.

Business verification process​

Complete the verification steps in Facebook Business Manager.

WhatsApp reviews your request and approves it if it is compliant with their policies. You will receive a notification in Facebook Business Manager.

Receive WhatsApp approval​

To obtain access to the WhatsApp Business API, you must meet WhatsApp's requirements. WhatsApp will verify the account and display name, and verify whether your business is compliant with their Business Policy and Commerce Policy. If your business is compliant, WhatsApp will approve your business account for use.

Display name rejection​

You can check the status of the display name approval in Facebook Business Manager. For a rejected display name, you can also view the reason for rejection. If your display name is rejected, contact us and provide a new name that follows the guidelines.

(Optional) Request Official Account (Verified Sender)​

Skip this section if you do not want to become a verified sender.

Verified senders get a verified badge next to their company name in WhatsApp. Being a verified sender gives customers confidence in your brand by letting them know that Meta has made sure that your company is legitimate.

The sender verification process for verified senders is an additional level of WhatsApp approval. It is different from the standard WhatsApp approval.

Prerequisites​

You must get your business verified by Meta.

Request process​

To become a verified sender, you must have an official WhatsApp business account. To request an official account, do one of the following:

  • If you registered your sender through our embedded signup process, request an official account through WhatsApp Account Manager.
  • If you did not register through the embedded signup process, contact us.
