Please note WhatsApp Blue Tick Verification is different from WhatsApp API Verification. A business may be approved for using WhatsApp APIs, but may not be approved for a Blue Tick.

To be able to submit the Blue Tick verification request, you’d have to fulfil all the pre-requisites mentioned above.

WhatsApp typically grants Blue Tick or an Official Business account to very limited and highly reputed businesses with a well-known, often searched brand or entity. This process is solely on WhatsApp, not Wati.
