In this section, you will be prompted to submit legal documents. Only documents in the languages specified in this article are accepted. If your documents are in a language not supported, they must be accompanied by a certified English translation, as detailed in the article.

Step 1: Select a contact method.

Email (Recommended): Ensure the submitted email domain aligns with the website domain specified in Step 4.
Phone call: If opting to receive a verification code by phone, ensure the phone number is officially provisioned by the entity seeking Facebook business verification. It should NOT be a private phone number.
Text message (SMS): Same as with the phone call, it will use the listed phone number.
WhatsApp message: It will also use your listed phone number.

Step 2: Select a document type and upload the documents.

The legal entity name on the submitted document must align with the legal entity name you provided in Step 4 above.

The primary document types that are acceptable for business verification are as follows. Make sure these documents are not expired and are issued by the relevant authorities.

Government Issued Business Tax Document: This could include a Tax Certificate. Self-filed tax documents are not accepted.

Utility Bill: A utility bill is accepted only for Business Address and Phone number. The Legal Business Name must be on the utility bill. A utility bill is not an acceptable document for Legal Business Name verification

NOTE: If your document doesn't include your business phone number, you're required to upload additional document that must include the legal entity name and phone number.
