Meta business verification of your business portfolio.
3. Has your number been on the WhatsApp Business Platform for at least 30 days?
Counted from when the number was connected to the API.

A 6-digit PIN set for the number in WhatsApp Manager (or by your provider).
5. Is your display name approved?
The name customers see, checked against Meta's display-name guidelines.
6. Do you follow the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy (only messaging people who agreed to hear from you)?
Messaging people without their opt-in breaks the policy.

Meta's rules

The 5 conditions for the blue checkmark

Condition	What it means
Messaging policy	Your business follows the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy
30 days on the platform	The number has been on the WhatsApp Business Platform for at least 30 days
Business verification	Your business portfolio is verified through Meta business verification
Two-step verification	Turned on for the phone number
Approved display name	The name customers see is approved by Meta

Meta does not give the badge to employee accounts, test accounts or WhatsApp Business app numbers. Meta reviews every request; if it is rejected you can apply again after 30 days.

Green tick, blue tick or Meta Verified?

Many people still call it the WhatsApp green tick. On the WhatsApp Business API, Meta calls it an Official Business Account and shows a blue checkmark beside the name. Meta Verified is a different, paid subscription inside the free WhatsApp Business app. Full blue tick guide →

Not ready yet?

Most businesses are one or two steps away. Start with Meta business verification — it also raises your daily messaging limits — and keep your quality high by messaging only people who opted in. Lead Pattern sets up the WhatsApp Business API free and applies for the blue checkmark for you.
