Summary
If your business does not appear in Meta's business verification process, you can still verify it by submitting supporting business documents. These documents must confirm key business details such as your legal business name, business address, or phone number. In some cases, Meta may also require proof of domain ownership if you choose email-based verification.
After you submit the required documents, Meta will review your application. The review process may take several days, and you can track the verification status from the Security Centre in Meta Business Manager.
