Get the Official
WhatsApp Blue Tick
(earlier called the 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 blue tick (earlier a green tick) shows customers that Meta has verified your business as authentic.
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.
Blue Tick Eligibility Checklist
Meta has strict guidelines for awarding the Blue 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, for at least 30 days, and follow the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy.
- Meta Business Verification: Your Facebook Business Manager must be fully verified with legal business documents.
- Brand Notability (PR): Meta looks for a well-known brand, for example one covered by independent news sources. Paid or promotional articles do not help.
- 2FA and Display Name: Two-step verification must be active on your WhatsApp API number, and your display name must be approved by Meta.
Deal Breakers
- Using the Standard App: The free WhatsApp Business App cannot get a Blue Tick. You must upgrade to the API.
- Policy Violations: Businesses that break the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy or Commerce Policy will not be approved.
- Lack of PR: If your brand cannot be organically found in Google News searches, Meta will likely reject the application.

QuickMessage offers free concierge assistance for this entire process.

Everything About
Blue 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 Blue Tick?
No. Meta does not charge any fee for the Blue 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 Blue 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 Blue Tick give me unlimited messaging?
No. The Blue Tick is purely a visual trust badge. Your messaging limit is set separately by Meta, based on business verification and message quality.
