WhatsApp Green Verification Badge is a badge that appears next to a WhatsApp account’s name in the app and indicates that the phone number of this account is confirmed by WhatsApp. It is a visual indicator of the authenticity of the account which helps users to identify the real WhatsApp account of a business.
Increased credibility: The official account badge indicates that your business has been verified by WhatsApp, which can increase trust and credibility with customers.
Increased visibility: Can help your business stand out from the competition and increase visibility on WhatsApp.
Use your name instead of your phone number: Allows you to use your business name instead of your phone number on chats. This makes it easier for customers to find you on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Green Badge is not available for all WhatsApp accounts. It is only available for WhatsApp Business accounts that have been verified by WhatsApp.
Once you’ve met the requirements, you can follow these steps to apply for the green badge verification:
This process can take a week or more, so make sure to plan ahead. This is a Facebook/WhatsApp process and Hilos has no control over it and cannot speed it up.
Choose your phone number and click on the gear icon, then click on Profile
Submit a request for an Official Business Account (Green tick for WhatsApp Business API)
To increase your chances of getting verified, make sure to provide as much information as possible about your business. Send several links to articles and press releases about your business, that talk as much as possible about your business.
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.
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.
