# Get Your FBM Verified Faster via Partner Led Business Verification

When you sign up for DoubleTick, one of the key steps to go live on WhatsApp is verifying your Facebook Business Manager (FBM). In some cases, this verification can be accelerated through a process called **Partner Led Business Verification**. This article explains what it is, whether you qualify, and what you need to prepare.

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**What is Partner Led Business Verification?**</mark>

**Partner Led Business Verification** is an expedited process that speeds up the verification of your Facebook Business Manager account. Instead of waiting in the standard verification queue, your request is escalated on priority — helping you get live on WhatsApp faster.

This is available for eligible businesses onboarded on DoubleTick.

***

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Do You Qualify?**</mark>

Before your DoubleTick account manager initiates this process on your behalf, the following conditions must be met:

1. Your business is onboarded on DoubleTick.
2. Your FBM verification is not already in progress.
3. You are able to share the required business documents.
4. Your business has a valid, active website with a real public presence.
5. Your legal business name matches exactly across all official government documents.

If any of the above conditions are not met, the standard verification process will apply. Reach out to your DoubleTick account manager to understand the best path forward.

***

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**What You Need to Prepare**</mark>

To initiate **Partner Led Business Verification**, your DoubleTick team will require the following information and documents from you.

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Business Information**</mark>

* Legal Business Name (as it appears on official documents)
* Facebook Business Manager ID (FBM ID)
* WhatsApp Business Account ID (WABA ID)
* Registered Business Address
* Business Website URL

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Business Documents**</mark>

For **Indian businesses**:

* GST Certificate (mandatory)
* Business PAN Card (optional, but recommended if available)

For **businesses outside India**:

* Certificate of Incorporation, or
* Tax registration certificate, or
* Any valid legal registration proof

The name, address, and phone number on your documents must match exactly what is declared in your Facebook Business Manager.

***

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**What Happens Next?**</mark>

Once you share the required details and documents with your DoubleTick account manager, the team handles the submission process end-to-end. You do not need to contact Meta or any third party directly.

Your account manager will notify you once the verification request has been submitted and keep you updated on progress.

***

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**How Long Does It Take?**</mark>

**Partner Led Business Verification** is faster than the standard process, but the timeline can vary depending on how quickly documents are reviewed.

| Scenario                                        | Estimated Time                 |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| All documents correct, no clarifications needed | A few hours to 1 business day  |
| Minor clarifications required                   | 2 to 7 business days           |
| Additional documents requested by Meta          | Longer, based on response time |

To avoid delays, ensure all documents are ready before your account manager initiates the request. Incomplete or mismatched documents are the most common reason for delays.

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Common Reasons Verification Gets Delayed or Rejected**</mark>

The following situations can cause your verification to be rejected or slowed down. Your DoubleTick team will flag these before submission, but it helps to be aware:

* Your business does not have an active, publicly accessible website.
* The legal name on your documents does not match your FBM account.
* Your business email does not use your company domain (for example, using a Gmail address instead of <yourname@yourbusiness.com>).
* The business cannot produce valid legal registration proofs.
* There is no verifiable digital presence associated with the business.

If any of these apply to your business, discuss it with your account manager before proceeding.

***

#### <mark style="color:$primary;">**Tips to Keep the Process Smooth**</mark>

* Share documents in clear, legible PDF or scanned format.
* Use the exact legal name — avoid short forms, abbreviations, or trade names unless they appear on official documents.
* Ensure your business website reflects your actual services and is not a placeholder or under construction.
* Keep in mind that Meta may sometimes request additional information after submission. Responding promptly to such requests will help maintain the timeline.

If you are unsure whether you qualify for **Partner Led Business Verification** or want to check the status of your verification, reach out to your DoubleTick account manager. They will guide you through the next steps based on your specific situation.
