Business Verification
To perform transactions, your business must be verified.
Verification Steps
1. Access the Security Center
Log in to Meta Business Manager and go to Business Settings > Security, then start the verification process.
2. Enter Business Details
Provide legal info like name, address, phone number, and website. Ensure it matches official documents.
3. Upload Documents
Upload evidence such as a trade license or commercial register excerpt if Meta cannot automatically verify your business.
4. Confirm Ownership
Choose a verification method: email (business address), phone (via call/SMS), or domain verification.
