Kindly find the below steps to apply for an Official Business Account (OBA) directly through the WhatsApp Business Manager:
- Login to WhatsApp Manager
- Click on Account Tools on the left sidebar
- Choose your phone number and click on Profile
- Submit a request for an Official Business Account
Make sure to carefully fill out all the required information before you click on Submit Request. If your request for verification gets rejected, you will have to wait for 30 days before attempting to apply again.
Important note: Once you get a WhatsApp green badge, you won’t be able to change the display name without having to re-apply. Choose your display name with care before starting the application process.
The average response rate for getting a response from WhatsApp is 2-4 business days. You can check the status of your application on the “Direct Support” tab in Meta Business Manager.
