Get the Official
WhatsApp Green Tick
Build instant trust with your Indian customers. Eliminate spam fears, display your brand name instead of just a number, and scale your reach using the official whatsapp business api.
Instant Brand Credibility
Customers in India are highly aware of spam. The Green Tick proves your authenticity, showing you are a verified, notable brand recognized by Meta.
Display Your Brand Name
Even if a customer hasn't saved your number, your Official Brand Name will appear in their chat list, drastically increasing your message open rates.
Higher Conversion Rates
Trust drives sales. Whether you are using a bulk whatsapp message sender for marketing or sending transactional updates, verification increases clicks.
Green Tick Eligibility Checklist
Meta has strict guidelines for awarding the Green Tick. Review the criteria below before applying.
What You Need
- Official API Account: You must be using the whatsapp business api through a provider like QuickMessage.
- Meta Business Verification: Your Facebook Business Manager must be fully verified with legal business documents.
- Brand Notability (PR): Your business must have at least 3-4 organic mentions in mainstream news articles or magazines. Paid PR does not count.
- 2FA Enabled: Two-step verification must be active on your WhatsApp API number.
Deal Breakers
- Using the Standard App: The free WhatsApp Business App cannot get a Green Tick. You must upgrade to the API.
- Restricted Industries: Meta will reject businesses related to drugs, alcohol, weapons, gambling, cryptocurrencies, and dating apps.
- Lack of PR: If your brand cannot be organically found in Google News searches, Meta will likely reject the application.

Everything About
Green Tick
Have doubts? Here are the most common questions Indian businesses ask about the verification process.
Ask our compliance teamDo I have to pay to get the Green Tick?
No. Meta does not charge any fee for the Green Tick. Furthermore, if you are a QuickMessage customer, our team assists you with the application process completely free of charge.
What happens if my application gets rejected?
If Meta rejects your application, usually due to insufficient PR/notability, you can re-apply after 30 days. You can continue using the WhatsApp API normally even without the Green Tick.
Can a local shop get verified?
Generally, no. Meta requires "brand notability". This means your business must be searched for frequently and featured in national or major regional news publications.
Does the Green Tick give me unlimited messaging?
No. The Green Tick is purely a visual trust badge. Your messaging limits (Tier 1, 2, 3) are based on your phone number's quality rating and usage history, regardless of verification status.
