(For WatsAppKaro – WhatsApp Business API)
If your WhatsApp Business verification request was rejected by Meta, don’t panic.
Rejections are common, and Meta allows you to resubmit up to three times.
What matters is fixing the exact reason for rejection before reapplying.
Submitting again without corrections almost guarantees another rejection.
Where to Check the Rejection Reason #
- Log in to Meta Business Manager
- Go to Security Center
- Locate your verification request
- Click Learn More to see the rejection reason
- After fixing the issue, click Get Started to reapply
Meta clearly tells you why you were rejected. Read it carefully.
Common Reasons for Business Verification Rejection #
Below are the most frequent mistakes that cause rejection.
Fix these before resubmitting.
1️⃣ Unaccepted Documents #
Meta only accepts official business documents.
Anything informal or self-generated is rejected.
✅ Accepted Documents #
- Certificate of Incorporation / Formation (e.g., GST Certificate)
- Articles of Incorporation
- Business License or Permits
- Business Tax Registration
- Business Bank Account Statement
- Udyog Aadhaar (UID)

- PAN Card
- Shop & Establishment Certificate
❌ Unaccepted Documents #
- Invoices
- Purchase orders
- Self-filled applications
- Tax returns
- Personal bank statements
- Website screenshots or printouts
- Flyers, letterheads, brochures
If it’s not an official legal document, don’t submit it.
2️⃣ Incomplete or Mismatched Documents #
Your documents must clearly show all required details, and they must match exactly with what you entered in Meta.
Required information:
- Legal Business Name
- Physical Address
- Phone Number
- Website
Even small mismatches (spelling, abbreviations, old addresses) can cause rejection.
👉 Your website must also display:
- Legal business name
- Business logo
3️⃣ Unsupported Language #
Meta accepts documents only in specific languages.
If your documents are in another language, you must submit:
- A certified English translation
- With an official stamp from a translation agency
Supported Languages Include: #
Arabic, Bengali, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese.
No translation = automatic rejection.
4️⃣ Unreadable or Expired Documents #
Documents must be:
- Clear
- Fully visible (not cropped)
- High resolution
- Valid and not expired
Blurry photos, partial scans, or outdated documents will be rejected immediately.
5️⃣ Missing Additional Documents #
Sometimes Meta asks for extra documents after your first submission.
If you:
- Ignore the request, or
- Miss the deadline
your verification will be rejected.
Always check the Security Center notifications.
Next Steps After Fixing Issues #
Once you’ve corrected all problems:
- Go back to Security Center
- Click Get Started
- Resubmit your verification request
- Double-check every detail before submission
Meta allows up to 3 attempts. Use them wisely.
