How to Verify Facebook Business Manager?

Verification of a Facebook Business Manager (BM) unlocks a $250+ spending limit, API access, Catalog Ads and priority Meta support. Below you’ll find the complete Business Verification flow, an up-to-date document checklist and the top mistakes that cause Meta to reject a request.

Business Verification flow on Facebook

  1. Open Business Settings → Security Center and click Start Verification. If the button is greyed out, the BM hasn’t yet spent $50 or no payment method is attached.
  2. Fill in the form with your legal company name, address, phone number and a corporate e-mail domain.
  3. Choose an e-mail verification (faster than a phone call) and confirm the code you receive.
  4. Upload the required documents and submit the request. The status usually changes to Verified within 24-72 h.
  5. If Meta flags the application, they may ask the admin for a short selfie-video—record it on a plain background with good light.

Document checklist for BM verification

What Meta checks Accepted documents
Legal company name Certificate of Incorporation, Business Licence, Companies Register extract (issued within the last 6 months)
Address & phone Utility bill, bank statement or tax letter dated < 90 days
Company domain Corporate e-mail (e.g. @example.com) or DNS verification in Business Settings
  • Upload PDF/JPG files up to 5 MB, 300 dpi, full colour, no cropped stamps or dates.
  • Name files in Latin characters, e.g. COI_CompanyName.pdf.

Common rejections and fixes

Why Meta rejects How to solve
Name mismatch between the form and the document Copy the legal name verbatim, re-upload the file
Low-resolution or cropped scan Rescan at 300 dpi with all corners and seals visible
“Ineligible for verification” message Run a white-hat campaign for $2-5 per day, then retry after 48 h
Too many failed attempts from one admin Assign another admin, submit the application from their profile

Full error-code explanations can be found in the article “Creating and Unblocking a Business Manager”. When Meta asks for “Additional Information”, attach a recent utility bill plus a corporate e-mail—approval rates jump by ~30 %.
