Step-by-Step Application Process in 2025
Follow this sequential roadmap to avoid procedural rejections
and streamline review processing times:
Confirm WhatsApp Business API Integration
The Green Tick is exclusive to Cloud or On-Premises
WhatsApp Business API accounts. Regular mobile WhatsApp
Business apps are non-eligible. Work with an Official
Meta Partner like WappConnect to provision an API
channel.
Attain Quality Rating ‘Medium’ or ‘High’
Ensure your phone number has been active for at least 14
days with zero community guideline flags and a healthy
messaging volume threshold (minimum Tier 2 messaging
capacity).
Submit Request via Meta Business Manager
Navigate to WhatsApp Manager > Phone Numbers >
Profile Settings > Request Official Business Account.
Upload 5 supporting press links and justify commercial
necessity.
Automated & Manual Review Decision
Meta’s review board evaluates the submission within 3 to
7 business days. Upon approval, the badge updates
dynamically across all ongoing and new subscriber chat
feeds.
