Introduction to Meta Verification
The Facebook page meta verification process is essential for businesses seeking to establish credibility and authenticity on the platform. Verified pages gain a badge that indicates their legitimacy to users, helping to foster trust and engagement.
Steps to Achieve Meta Verification
To achieve meta verification, page administrators must follow specific guidelines set by Facebook. Primarily, they need to ensure their page accurately represents their business or entity. This includes confirming their contact information, uploading official documentation, and being active on the platform.
To get your Facebook page Meta Verified, you need to sign up through your business portfolio, provide business details, confirm your identity with a government-issued ID, and adhere to Meta’s terms and guidelines.
Before you begin
-
You can only start the verification process if your business portfolio is eligible for verification.
-
If you can’t see the Start verification button in the Security Centre but believe your business needs to be verified, confirm that the product or feature you’re trying to access requires business verification. If you received a notification or email saying you need to verify your business, you may refer to that for instructions on how to get started.
-
You must have full control of the business portfolio.
-
If you provide false or misleading information during the verification process, attempt to claim and verify a business you’re not authorised to represent, or otherwise attempt to circumvent Meta’s verification review system, Meta may prevent your business from being verified, remove your business’s verified status or take additional action on the account.
Note: The Meta Business Account, sometimes called a Business Manager account, was renamed. It’s now known as a business portfolio.
How to verify your business
- Go to Business Manager’s Security Centre. Click Start verification.Note: You may have received a notification to begin verification in another platform, such as Meta Ads Manager, Commerce Manager and the App Developer Dashboard.
- Provide your business’s details, including the legal business name, address, phone number and website.Note: Make sure that the details you submit exactly match the details of your legal business entity. Also make sure that your business’s website loads and is HTTPS compliant.

Verification decision
After you’ve submitted your verification, a decision can be made in as little as 10 minutes and as long as 14 working days. You’ll receive a notification when the review is complete. If you receive confirmation that your business is verified, there’s nothing more you need to do.
You can edit your business details at any time. But any changes will require you to complete the business verification process again.
If you’re having trouble after submitting your verification, troubleshoot why your business can’t be verified.
Benefits of Meta Verification
Once a page is verified, it enjoys several advantages. For instance, a verified status can improve visibility in search results and increase the likelihood of users interacting with the page. Additionally, it protects against impersonation, as users can easily identify authentic accounts. Thus, completing the Facebook page meta verification process is a strategic move for business owners aiming to enhance their online presence.
