Partner-led Business Verification

Partner-led Business Verification (PLBV) helps trusted businesses get verified in as little as 48 hours, enabling them to start messaging faster without waiting for Meta’s full review.

Prerequisites

• Business details in the documents match across Business Manager (BM) and WABA (legal name, address, registration/VAT, etc.).

Required documents:

• Proof the company exists (e.g., registration/incorporation certificate).

• Proof the company is active (e.g., utility bill issued within the last 2 months).

Time to complete: Submit in minutes; review typically can take up to 48 hours.

Important notes

• PLBV is NOT available for Government Agencies/ Accounts.

• Don’t upload personal documents or IDs — we only accept business documents for validation.

• Ensure your Business Manager (BM) and WABA account name match your official Business name. If they don’t, we won’t be able to approve your submission.

• Ensure the account is new and has not gone through any previous verification process. If your account has already submitted a verification, please try using the Standard Business Verification

Options to submit

Embedded Signup (new accounts)

What happens next

• 360dialog validates your documents and data consistency. If everything matches, we submit to Meta for accelerated review.

• Meta makes the final decision; 360dialog approval does not guarantee verification.

• You’ll receive updates in the same Support chat. Typical timeline: up to 48 hours.

How to confirm it worked

• You’ll get a reply in the Support chat.

• Your system should receive the phone_number_quality_changed webhook indicating:

  • Messaging limit increased to 1,000/day, and

  • Display name becomes visible after review.

• See Webhook events and notifications documentation for details.

Accepted documents

• Company registration certificate or articles of incorporation.

• Business license or tax registration document.

• Government-issued tax certificate.

• Business bank statement.

• Utility bill (only for address/phone verification).

Notes

• Up to 3 PLBV attempts are allowed per client; after that, the Meta-led process is required.

• Documents must be official, valid, and not expired.

• Clients already verified or with verification in progress cannot use this feature.

• Supported languages include: Arabic, Bengali, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese.

Troubleshooting

• Mismatch detected / request declined: Ensure BM/WABA data exactly matches the documents (legal name, address, registration/VAT).

• WABA blocked: Resolve the block first; blocked WABAs are not eligible.

• Insufficient proof of activity: Provide a recent document (issued within the last 60 days).

• No webhook received: Check if your webhook endpoint is reachable/subscribed and review recent delivery logs.
