How to Get Blue Tick Verification?

A blue tick gives your brand special recognition on WhatsApp by showing your Display Name with a small blue tick, instead of just your phone number.


The following are the 5 must-have requirements to apply for a blue tick on WhatsApp:


  1. WhatsApp API setup completed with your own phone number.
  2. Meta business account verification.
  3. Display name approved
  4. Two-step verification enabled for your phone
  5. Media presence with at least 5 pieces of organic content like PR articles, blog posts on major publications, coverage by news/media outlets, etc. Paid PR articles do not count.


Once you have these things in place, you can apply for blue tick verification directly from your WhatsApp Manager.


Note that blue tick verification is only available for brands that have some level of popularity and media presence, like brand mentions on popular news and blog websites. If your brand is well-known, then it's easy to get the blue tick, but if it's not, then in most cases, you're unlikely to receive it.


How to apply for Blue Tick Verification?


  1. Go to the Phone Numbers page in your WhatsApp Business Manager (make sure you select the correct Meta Business Account associated with your WhatsApp Business Account).
  2. There you'll see a list of all your phone numbers. Click the Settings icon next to the number you want to get the blue tick for to open its Settings page.


  1. Once you are on the phone number settings page, click on the Profile tab.
  2. There you'll see a section with the title Official business account. Under that, click on the Submit Request button.


  1. In the popup that opens fill in all the required detailed. Make sure to add links to external, non-sponsored links from publications that have mentioned your brand.


  1. Add any other information requested in the form.
  2. Then click the Submit button to send the form for WhatsApp's review.
