How to register for green tick verification on the Facebook page

Facebook is increasingly prioritizing the trustworthiness and transparency of Pages; the blue verified badge is no longer just a symbol for public figures but has become a crucial factor helping businesses, brands, and creators build credibility. Entering 2026, the Facebook Page verification process has seen several notable changes, from eligibility criteria to documentation preparation. In this article, Optimal Agency will guide you through the 2026 Facebook Page blue badge verification process in a clear, up-to-date, and highly actionable manner, helping to increase your approval rate from the very first submission

Privileges of owning the Meta Verified symbol

In the context of Facebook and Instagram increasingly tightening identity verification, owning the Meta Verified symbol is not simply about having a green tick next to the account name. For us and you, especially content creators, individual entrepreneurs, or small businesses, Meta Verified is becoming a clear advantage in terms of credibility, visibility, and account security. When registering for Meta Verified, Meta not only verifies who you are but also grants many practical benefits to help the account operate more stably and effectively in the long term.

Official Verification Green Tick

The green tick displayed next to the account name is the clearest evidence that the account has been officially verified by Meta. This is particularly important in fields prone to impersonation, such as online business, KOLs, training experts, celebrity accounts, or brand fanpages. For example, when customers search for a sales fanpage or a personal account providing services, the green tick reassures them that this is a real account, not a clone or an impersonator. This directly increases inbox, follow, and conversion rates.

Increased content visibility on Facebook and Instagram

One of the highly valuable benefits of Meta Verified is that content is prioritized for display in searches and recommendations. For advertisers or creators, this means that for the same post, the organic reach can be better compared to unverified accounts. We often see Meta Verified accounts have a distinct advantage when posting Reels, personal posts, or branded content, especially during the initial phase of building a follower base. This is a huge plus if you are creating content or selling without wanting to depend entirely on paid advertising.

Direct and priority support from the Meta team

An extremely important but often undervalued benefit is the ability to contact Meta support directly. With a Meta Verified account, when encountering issues such as being wrongly locked, hacked, mass-reported, or losing access, you can submit a support request and have it processed faster than regular accounts. In practice, we have seen many business accounts reopened quickly thanks to Meta Verified, while unverified accounts had to wait a long time or received no response.

Enhanced security and reduced risk of impersonation

Meta applies higher security layers for verified accounts. This helps limit unauthorized access, illegal information changes, or the creation of fake accounts with similar names. For those building a personal brand or long-standing fanpages, this is an essential layer of protection. Losing an account not only affects content but also causes business disruption and damages brand reputation.

Exclusive tools for creators and professional accounts

In addition to the above benefits, Meta Verified also unlocks advanced tools to help users better manage and develop their accounts. Detailed analytics tools, interaction management, and content performance tracking help us and advertisers better understand viewer behavior, thereby optimizing content strategies and promoting more effectively. For those seriously building Facebook or Instagram as a long-term business or brand channel, Meta Verified is no longer an “option” but is gradually becoming a clear competitive advantage.

How to register for green tick verification on the Facebook page 2026

In 2026, owning a green tick for a Facebook Fanpage not only helps increase trust but also directly affects reach, advertising, and long-term branding. Many businesses and advertisers are eligible but are still rejected simply due to incorrect operations or missing important information. Below, we will guide you through each detailed, easy-to-do step following the latest process to increase the success rate of verification.

Step 1: Install the green tick registration support extension

First, you need to access the Extensions section of Google Chrome. At the top right of the browser, click the three-dot icon, select Extensions, and continue to select Manage Extensions. When the extension management interface appears, turn on Developer Mode. This is a mandatory step to be able to add extensions manually.

Next, find the zip file of the green tick registration extension. After downloading, unzip this file into a separate folder on your computer. Go back to the extensions page, select Load unpacked, then point to the unzipped folder and confirm. If you do not have the zip file ready, the download link is usually attached to the instruction video or the description/comment section of the extension. Once added successfully, you will see a green tick icon appear in the right corner of the browser.

Step 2: Access the registration tool and enter Fanpage information

Once the extension is active, click the green tick icon to start the verification registration process. The first information you need to provide is the Fanpage ID. This is a numeric ID, not the page name. You can get this ID through the Meta Business Suite or Fanpage ID retrieval tools.

Next is the Business ID that the Fanpage is linked to. This is where many people make mistakes, leading to rejection. If you do not know where to find the Business ID, go to Meta Business Suite, select Business Settings, then go to Business Info. Here, the Business ID will be displayed at the top of the page. For example, if you are verifying a Fanpage for a fashion brand, that Fanpage must be linked to a valid and identity-verified Business Manager.

Step 3: Select the country and content type of the Fanpage

After entering the full IDs, you need to select the primary operating country of the Fanpage. Choose the correct country where your business is actually operating; do not choose based on IP or the advertising market if you do not have the appropriate documents. Next is the type of content the Fanpage posts—for example, business, personal brand, media, education, e-commerce, etc. Selecting the correct category will help Facebook understand the nature of the page’s activities and evaluate the dossier more accurately.

Step 4: Provide verification documents and valid evidence

This is the decisive step in whether your Fanpage is approved for a green tick or not. Facebook will require you to upload documents proving the legitimacy of the business or brand. If you are a business owner, commonly accepted documents include business licenses, business registration certificates, tax invoices, or legal papers with a business name that matches the Fanpage.

Additionally, in some cases, Facebook may request photos of verification badges, official websites, or articles from reputable news sites mentioning your brand. We recommend preparing clear, full-information documents without excessive image editing. If the documents are blurry, missing information, or do not match, the verification request is likely to be rejected.

Step 5: Submit the request and monitor results

After filling in all information and uploading all necessary documents, simply click Submit Request. The review time can range from a few minutes to a few days, depending on each account and region.

Facebook will send the results via email or direct notification in the Business Manager account. Therefore, check frequently so as not to miss the response. If, unfortunately, the request is rejected, do not worry too much. Facebook will clearly state the reason for rejection. At this point, you only need to adjust the Fanpage, supplement more appropriate documents, and resubmit the request after some time. In practice, many advertisers have been successfully approved on the second or third attempt after properly optimizing their dossier.

Increase Meta green tick approval rates via verified tips

Many of you think that Meta green tick verification is “luck-based,” but in reality, it is not. Meta does not review randomly but based on algorithms, data, and the consistency of the information you provide. We have directly implemented and monitored hundreds of different dossiers and Pages, from individuals to businesses, and realized that if done correctly from the start, the approval rate can increase many times, even shortening the review time by 5 to 10 times. Below is the entire process and important tips we recommend you and advertisers apply.

Select the correct Page in the verification form

When starting, you need to access Meta’s official verification form and select the correct Facebook Page that needs verification. In the form, ensure you are selecting Page, not personal profile. Many wonder which one to choose if they have both. In this content, we are focusing entirely on Facebook Page verification. Personal profiles have a different process. A mandatory rule is that you must have ownership of the Page. This means you are the Page creator or hold the highest administrator rights. If you are only an editor or a lower-level admin, that Page likely will not appear in the selection list.

Select appropriate documents to avoid rejection

The type of document you choose is one of the most important factors determining whether the application is approved quickly or hung for a long time. Meta does not have a human team manually checking every dossier. Most of this process is handled by AI and algorithms, so any inconsistency will cause your application to be placed under closer inspection.

With a Page in a personal name

If your Facebook Page is in a personal name, for example, your name is John Massud Perves, and the Page has that same name, the best choice is a national ID card. This is a government-issued document with the highest reliability.

The next choices are passport, driver’s license, personal tax records, or utility bills. Personal news articles are the last choice and are less prioritized. If you want the process to be handled quickly, we always recommend using a national ID card or passport.

With a Business Page

For businesses, the top priority document is the most recent tax filing. For example, if you have completed the Q1 2026 tax filing, use that exact dossier. The next choice is the business license. An extremely important note is that the name on the business license must match 100% with the Facebook Business Page name.

Documents like utility bills are often ineffective because Meta takes a long time to verify by region. To repeat, the name on the document and the Facebook Page name must match absolutely. Otherwise, rejection is almost certain.

How to upload documents to increase credibility with Meta’s algorithm

A common mistake is taking photos of documents with a phone and then uploading them to the form. This makes the documents look unprofessional and easily judged as unreliable by the algorithm.

The best way is to scan the documents, convert them to a clear, bright PDF file without blurring, and keep the file size under 10MB. The ideal size is between 5 and 10MB. If the file is too large, the system may place your dossier into a more complex review process, significantly slowing down the approval time.

Select the absolutely accurate Page category

The Page category is an element that many overlook but significantly impacts the review results. The category you select in the form must match the category set on the Facebook Page. If there is no absolutely accurate category, choose the closest one, but absolutely avoid selecting “Other.”

For example, categories like music, entertainment, and fashion may seem similar, but Meta classifies them very clearly. Choosing incorrectly can lead to rejection after weeks of waiting.

Declare the correct country and audience based on actual data

The country section is very simple now; just type the country name and select from the suggested list. The audience section, while seemingly optional, is actually extremely important. Many fill it based on personal wishes, for example, assuming their audience is CEOs or entrepreneurs, while actual data shows most followers are Gen Z.

The correct way is to go to the Page’s Insights, see who follows and interacts most, and then fill in information matching that data. This helps Meta evaluate your Page as more transparent and reliable.

How to fill in links for maximum credibility

The link section is a huge determinant of the speed and result of the review. The top priority link is a video of you or your business appearing on TV or mainstream media channels. Get the link from the official fanpage of the television station; this is even better than YouTube because Meta understands its internal ecosystem.

Next are news articles written about you, prioritized with links from the official fanpage of the newspaper. Following that are the official websites of magazines or the business. If you are a small business, you can use blog posts or LinkedIn posts with high engagement. Another good tip is to collaborate with other businesses for cross-introduction articles, creating real interaction to increase credibility.

Registering for green tick verification for a Facebook Page in 2026 is not difficult if you prepare correctly from the start and strictly adhere to Meta’s criteria. Simply ensure Page ownership, consistent information, appropriate documents, and reputable links, and you can significantly shorten the review time and greatly increase the possibility of being granted the green tick on the first submission.
