The WhatsApp green tick is a valuable symbol of trust and verification for businesses. To be eligible for the green tick, you must meet specific prerequisites. This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to apply for the WhatsApp green tick once you fulfill the necessary requirements.


Prerequisites

Before applying for the WhatsApp green tick, ensure you meet the following requirements:

  1. WhatsApp Business Platform (API) Account: Your business must be using the WhatsApp Business Platform; the WhatsApp Business App is not sufficient.​

  2. Business Verification: Complete the Meta Business Verification process to authenticate your business's legitimacy.​

  3. Two-Step Verification: Enable two-step verification for your WhatsApp Business account to add an extra layer of security.​

  4. Display Name Approval: Ensure your business's display name is approved in the WhatsApp Manager.​

  5. Notability: Your business should be a well-known, frequently searched brand or entity, with mentions in reputable publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, or Business Insider. Paid or promotional content is not considered valid for establishing notability.​

  6. Messaging Tier: While not mandatory, being in Tier 2 or above messaging level is recommended to demonstrate active engagement.

Once you have met all the prerequisites, you can proceed with the application process.
