# Frequently Asked Questions

**Question:**\
If a business has 40 WABA numbers, what is the process to get the blue tick (Official Business Account) for each of them? Can the verification be applied in bulk?

**Answer:**\
The **Official Business Account (OBA) approval is granted per WABA**. This means that even if a business owns multiple WABAs (for example, 40 WABA numbers), the **blue tick verification must be applied for individually for each WABA**.

There is currently **no option to apply for OBA verification in bulk** across multiple WABAs.

For every WABA, the same eligibility requirements and application process must be followed.

#### Eligibility Requirements for OBA Verification

To apply for a blue tick on any WABA, the following conditions must be met:

* The business must **comply with the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy**.
* The WhatsApp number should ideally have **at least 30 days of activity on the WhatsApp Business Platform**.
* The **brand must be notable and well-known**.
* The business should have **presence in major news publications**.
* There should be **coverage by reputable media outlets or independent editorial articles** about the business.
* The **business portfolio must be verified in Meta Business Manager**.
* **Two-step verification must be enabled** for the WhatsApp number.
* The **display name for the WhatsApp number must already be approved**.

#### Important Note

Since the **OBA approval is evaluated at the WABA level**, each WABA must go through the **same verification process separately**.

If a business operates multiple WABAs, the **application must be submitted individually for each one**, and each WABA will be evaluated independently by Meta.

This means that approval for one WABA **does not automatically apply to other WABAs owned by the same business**.
