## Follow the Step by Step Below to Verify Your Company:

In order to have a WhatsApp Business account, you must also be a verified company on Facebook, and this is a step between you as a company and Facebook. Company verification is important to inform if the Business Manager account belongs to a company or organization that actually exists.

We will help you to understand Facebook’s requirements and follow all steps to verify your Company’s account.

Access your company’s business page on Facebook, at the following link: <https://business.facebook.com/>​

### **Click the Business Settings Symbol**

Select the corresponding business type from the suggestions list or select 'none of these‘ if none of the options fit your company.

* [ ] Follow the instructions to confirm your business details.
* [ ] Choose how you want to receive your verification code: phone call or email.
* [ ] Depending on your location, the phone verification option may be unavailable, therefore Facebook will send your code via email.
* [ ] Add your verification code.

#### If none of the options fit your business type and you have selected ‘none of these,’ you will be required to upload additional documents

* [ ] Proof of business registration: it can be articles of incorporation, a business license, business tax registration, etc.
* [ ] Proof of business address and phone number: it can be an electricity bill, phone bill, bank statement, articles of incorporation, etc.
* [ ] Your tie to this business: something that proves that you are an official representative of this company.
