Verification raises what your business can do, which also raises what a compromised account could do.

Standard campaigns from a single ad account generally run without it. You need it for advanced API access, WhatsApp Business, higher asset limits, and certain restricted features.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Can I verify as an individual or sole proprietor?\u003C/strong> Generally no. Verification matches against business registration records, so an unregistered individual has nothing to match. Some jurisdictions allow sole proprietor registration documents — if yours does, that document may work.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>How long does verification last?\u003C/strong> Indefinitely, as long as your business details stay accurate. Material changes to name, address, or ownership can require re-verification.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What if my business is not in Meta's registry list?\u003C/strong> Upload documents instead. A registry match is faster but not required.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Can I change my legal business name after verifying?\u003C/strong> Yes, but it typically triggers re-review. Expect the change to be checked against documents again.\u003C/p>\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Is verification the same as the blue checkmark?\u003C/strong> No. Business verification is an internal trust and access process. The blue checkmark is public verification on a Facebook or Instagram profile, requested separately with different criteria.\u003C/p>\u003Ch2>The short version\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>Business verification proves your company is legally real; domain verification proves you control a website. They are different jobs — do both. Make Business Settings match your registration documents character for character before you submit, upload complete and current documents, complete the confirmation step from a domain email, and expect anywhere from a few hours to several business days. When it comes back rejected, fix the mismatch rather than resubmitting the same package.\u003C/p>\u003Ch2>Running ads across Meta and TikTok?\u003C/h2>\u003Cp>DeepClick's \u003Ca href=\"https://deepclick.com/solutions/meta-tiktok-advertisers\">Meta & TikTok advertiser tools\u003C/a> help teams keep accounts, tracking, and landing pages working together as they scale across platforms.\u003C/p>\u003C/div>","https://deepclick.com/resources/blog/meta-business-manager-verification",{"zh-CN":642,"en":642},1787996645507]
