The green checkmark (the &quot;Verified Business&quot; badge) is an extra level that Meta awards to brands with a verifiable public presence and confirmed authenticity. Achieving both requires proper legal documentation, a strong digital presence, and, in the case of the green checkmark, being a sufficiently recognized brand. Verification takes 1-5 business days; the green checkmark takes weeks, and many businesses never get it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verificacion-meta-business-vs-palomita-verde-dos-cosas-distintas\">Meta Business verification vs. green checkmark: two different things<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Concept<\/th>\n<th>What is<\/th>\n<th>Who needs it<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Meta Business Verification<\/td>\n<td>Legal confirmation of your company through documents<\/td>\n<td>Any business that uses APIs or serious guidelines<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Green dove (Verified Business)<\/td>\n<td>Badge visible next to the name, awarded to recognized brands<\/td>\n<td>Companies with a strong public brand<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Verification is a <strong>operational requirement<\/strong>The green dove is <strong>prestige and extra effort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verificacion-de-meta-business-como-conseguirla\">Meta Business Verification: How to Obtain It<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"requisitos\">Requirements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personal Facebook account<\/strong> active to create the Business Manager.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Company legal document<\/strong> (tax receipt in Mexico, CNPJ in Brazil, NIF in Spain).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Proof of address<\/strong> (electricity, water, internet bill or bank statement) that matches the legal address.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Website with a clear presence<\/strong> (not mandatory but it speeds things up).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"paso-a-paso\">Step by step<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Create Business Manager.<\/strong> Enter <a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\">business.facebook.com<\/a> and create one with your personal account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete company information.<\/strong> Exact company name as in the legal document, address, telephone number, website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upload documents.<\/strong> <em>Settings \u2192 Security Center \u2192 Start Verification<\/em>Upload tax receipt + proof of address.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wait for the review.<\/strong> 1-5 business days.
