Required Documents for Facebook Business Verification

If your business is not listed during the verification process, Facebook may request official documents to confirm your business registration.

These documents must display your business's legal name and its official postal address or phone number. Additionally, if you opt to receive a verification code via email, you might need to provide proof of website domain ownership.

After you have uploaded the documents, the Facebook team will review them. This process may take several days. You can check the status of your verification by visiting the Security Center.
