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

### Not seeing option to submit request?

If you're not seeing the **Submit request** button or it's showing disabled, you are probably not eligible  to apply for the blue tick verification. 

Please make sure you fulfill all the eligibility criteria mentioned above before checking back again. 

But if think you do fulfill the requirements and are a popular and notable brand, reach out to our support team via chat or email. We'll reach out to WhatsApp support on your behalf to try to help you with the process. Please note that this manual process is not guaranteed and it completely depends on WhatsApp if they would approve the request.
