1. Proof of Business Registration
You need to upload documents that prove that your business is a legally registered business with official authorities.
Acceptable document examples
- Business licence
- Certificate of formation or incorporation
- Business Tax or VAT registration certificate
2. Business address or phone number validation
You need to upload documentation that shows your legal business name and either the address or phone number.
Acceptable document examples
- Utility bill, e.g. a phone or electricity bill
- Bank statement
- Business licence
- Certificate of formation or incorporation

3. Proof of association with your business
To protect your brand and also ensure the trust and safety of the people on the facebook platform, prove that you're associated with the legal business entity that you're requesting to be verified.
Currently, there are two ways to prove association with a business:
- You can confirm by phone by answering a call at the phone number listed in the document used for phone number validation (see Business address or Phone number validation section).
- You can confirm by email if the email domain matches the website domain associated with your business. Email addresses with domains such as gmail.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com and similar aren't acceptable.
