WhatsApp Account Green Badge

Updated 

The WhatsApp Green Tick is an official Green Checkmark that WhatsApp offers to demonstrate the Brand’s legitimacy and reliability. It’s a clear indication from WhatsApp that the company trusts the name! Green Tick-equipped accounts are referred to as official WhatsApp Verified Accounts.

If your WhatsApp account is an Official Business Account, there will be a green checkmark beside the displayed name in the contacts view. Follow these instructions to request an official business account.

The criteria for WhatsApp Official Business Accounts (OBA) is based on a number of factors and is different from policies on other platforms. In addition to following WhatsApp's Commerce and Business Policies, businesses need to be:

  • Notable: Represents a well-known business, often searched brand or entity, reflects substantial presence in online news articles.

  • Verified: Has gone through Business Verification, and

  • 2FA: Has set up two-step verification.

To get a green checkmark badge
