WhatsApp Green Tick (Verification) Service

Before you apply for your Official Business Account you should make sure your business has been verified on Facebook and you have 2 Factor Authentication set up. You can read here how to verify your business: How to verify your Facebook Business Account

We recommend that if you wish to apply for an Official Business Account, you make sure to add an official email domain to your Facebook Business Account. You could use an official email domain (such as "username@companyname.com") from your business or entity rather than a webmail email like username@gmail.com or "username@yahoo.com". Webmail addresses most often are rejected as they cannot be affiliated with established businesses.

Your display name can make a difference in the approval process. When applying you should make sure your display name adheres to the guidelines for display names. If there is inconsistency of the display name with external branding or there is an unclear relation to the business, your request will likely be rejected.

From experience we know that your account must represent a well-known, often searched brand or entity. Accounts that are featured in multiple news sources have a higher chance of getting approval, but note that paid or promotional content is not considered as a source for review.
