Before your start

Verify your WhatsApp Business account

Once you have scanned all the required official documents:

1. Access your WhatsApp Business Manager account and go to Business settings > Security Center.
2. From the Business Verification section, click Start Verification. 
   
3. Select a country
   Select the country in which your organization is registered.
   
4. Add organization details
   Enter your Business Legal Name, Address, Business Phone Number and Website. Some of the fields may already be filled. Make sure that the information you input is the same as the one on your supporting documents and click Next. 
   
5. Select a contact method
   Choose a verification method that will check if you are the person requesting verification. You can either receive a code by Email, Phone call, Text message (SMS), or perform a Domain verification. 
   
   ❗️ Important

   Ensure you are entering an email address or phone number that you have immediate access to. 
6. Add supporting documents
   Submit supporting documents such as the Certificate of Incorporation, Business License, Business Bank Account Statement, etc. to verify your Business Legal Name and/or Address and Phone Number and click Next.
7. Confirm contact method
   Confirm the email address or phone number you submitted to verify your business. 
   
8. Enter confirmation code
   Type the verification code you received by email, SMS or call and click Next.
   

The Meta team will review your documents and you will receive a confirmation email when your business is verified. You can also check your verification status in your Security Centre. The verification process can take up to 30 days. Brevo is not responsible for the verification of your WhatsApp Business account. 

Once your WhatsApp Business account is verified and before sending your first WhatsApp campaign, check your messaging limit. Your limit is related to your phone number reputation and not to your WhatsApp Business account verification anymore. To learn more, check our dedicated article on the limits to the number of messages sent with WhatsApp Business Platform.
