Where do i get the 5 article ? Is that video link or what I don’t really understand

[@Revlocal]

Hello! The 5 articles are links that can verify your business. For example, you can include your website link, google listing, or any articles that written about your business.

[@cicada-hn1cd]

Hello, I really thank you for this valuable information. I have two questions please if you can answer it. I want to advertise on Facebook. 1-Do I need to create an ads account or something like that, and then verify my identity, or should proof of identity be the first thing to be confirmed before I create any ads account? 2-Do you think if I put my picture on my profile it would be much better for confirmation? Or does that not matter much? Thank you so much

[@Revlocal]

Hello! You'll need a Facebook Business Profile to advertise via the Facebook Ads Manager. You can apply for verification before to see if you are approved before running ads, but you can also run ads if not verified. As for a profile picture, Facebook states "To be considered for a blue verified badge, Facebook Pages and profiles must adhere to our Terms of Service and Community Standards, as well as have a profile photo, cover photo and a Page name that follows our guidelines."

[@cicada-hn1cd]

@@Revlocal thank you

[@BrightB4J]

Please can you explain more on the 5 links we need to copy and paste... If I've only three Facebook page how will I get the remaining three articles to verify my page?

[@Revlocal]

Great question! You can submit up to 5 articles that show public interest of your brand or company. This can be news articles or links to other social media accounts. This section is optional so you are able to pass by or add the 3 articles you currently have.

Hi i want to ask about the document type. Does it matter to upload a real picture of my driving license? What if i upload a copy of my driving license in pdf?

[@FCSurplus]

Please consider making an updated video as this page on Facebook has changed.

[@Revlocal]

Hello! Some changes have taken place including Meta Verified but the original verified badge process remains the same. You'll want to visit facebook.com/help/contact/295038365360854, to complete the form and request verification.

[@FCSurplus]

Thank you@@Revlocal for the link. We gave it a try, but they denied the request. We can't understand how they carefully reviewed our application and denied it in under one second. We are trying to get this setup for a Facebook API to run a Halloween contest.

[@Revlocal]

It may depend on how long your account has been active. If it's a new account, you'll need to be active and have some engagement and followers to be able to request the verification.

[@FCSurplus]

@@Revlocal Our account has been active since 2007. We have approximately 3000 likes, post regularly, and spent over $1000 on Facebook ads over the years. We eventually got it verified through phone verification. It took 15 minutes to take down the PBX system, setup a phone, get the code, and set everything back up again, but we got verified.

[@Revlocal]

We're happy to hear that you were able to get verified!

[@immimike8857]

I did what you told but unfortunately they rejected. I provided driving licence and company documents. They didn’t tell me reason and said apply again after 30 days.

[@Revlocal]

You may want to include a few additional documents and ensure that your page is active the next time you apply.

With the new pay monthly verification subscription I don't like how I had to change my name from Reel Hog to my government name. And even if I get a business license saying DBA as Reel Hog they won't accept businesses as of now so how did artists or businesses or celebrities with fake or stage names get one . They should verify who you are but give a way to be known as your desired page name

Hello, just trying to figure out if there's a minimum number of likes/followers to even be eligible for this as a business. We have 7,000 followers on our page. Filled out the Facebook form in this video today and instantly got this email reply from Facebook: "Thanks for submitting your request for verification on Facebook. Our team carefully reviewed your account and determined that unfortunately it's not eligible for verification at this time." If anyone can advise, let us know. Thanks!

[@Revlocal]

Hello! That's a great question. You should aim for about 500 followers before applying for verification. Facebook also looks for authenticity (the page represents a business or entity), completeness (page has an active presence - meaning a complete About section, profile, cover photos, and at least one post), notability (page/brand should be well-known and gets mentions online that are not paid), and uniqueness (only have a single account for your brand). Be sure to include as much information as possible to boost your credibility. Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@crsportsocialclub]

​@@Revlocal thanks for the information. Will try again in 30 days. It was just weird that it was automatically rejected via email. Pretty sure it wasn't "carefully reviewed" by a human.

@@crsportsocialclub the same situation happened to me: Thanks for submitting your request for verification on Facebook.
