Hi Everyone,

What is the process to get the green tick on WhatsApp?

You need to apply after verifying your Facebook Business Manager.
But green tick approval depends on WhatsApp, it's not guaranteed.

Hi Snapshot,
Here’s the complete process:

First, your Facebook Business Manager must be verified (business documents must be approved).
Then, you or your provider can raise a request to WhatsApp for the green tick.
WhatsApp reviews your brand’s public presence — like website, media articles, brand recognition, etc.
If your brand has strong visibility and meets their guidelines, they approve the green tick.

Important to know: even if your business is verified and using WhatsApp API, green tick approval is not guaranteed. It’s completely WhatsApp’s decision based on brand reputation.

Yes, could you let me know what documents or details are needed to apply for the green tick?

For green tick verification, WhatsApp generally checks the following:

A verified Facebook Business Manager account.
Valid business documents like a company registration certificate, GST certificate, or any government-issued proof showing the legal name.
A professional website that clearly mentions the business name and details.
Media coverage or public mentions (if available) that show the brand is well-known.
The WhatsApp number is connected to the Business API.
A short business description explaining what the company does.

Once all these are ready, you can submit a request through your WhatsApp Business API provider or Meta support portal.
Please note: having all documents doesn't guarantee green tick approval — final decision is taken by WhatsApp after review.
