WhatsApp Official Business Account (blue tick)

An Official Business Account shows your brand name and a blue tick, so customers can tell the chat is the organization they meant to message. Meta grants it. It is not included with Cloud API access.

What you need before you apply

How to request it

  1. Confirm verification and the display name in WhatsApp Manager.
  2. Submit the Official Business Account request from WhatsApp Manager if the button is available on your account.
  3. If the button is missing, contact Best SMS Bulk with the portfolio ID and the evidence of notability (site, news, store locator). We forward what Meta’s partner process allows. We do not approve the tick ourselves.

While you wait, the approved display name already replaces the raw phone number for many users. The tick is an extra trust mark on top of that.

After you have it

Changing the display name sends the brand back through review. Keep template quality high. An Official Business Account can still be limited or removed if customers report the number.

FAQ

Does every Best SMS Bulk WhatsApp number get a blue tick?

No. Meta decides. Many businesses run the API for years with an approved display name and no tick.

Will the tick speed up template approval?

No. Template review and the quality rating follow the same rules as any other Cloud API number.
