# WhatsApp Onboarding steps 1. **Facebook business verification** If your business is not listed when you attempt to verify it, Facebook may ask you to upload official documents to prove that your business has been registered. These documents must show the **legal name of your business** and your **business's official postal address** or **phone number**. You may also be asked to provide proof of website domain ownership if you choose to receive a verification code at your email address. (make sure the Facebook account is 3 months old to create business page with it.) > Once your documents are uploaded, Facebook team will review the docs and this may take several days to get verified. You can check the verification status in security centre. **Below are the required documents you can submit for business verification** * Business bank statement * Business licence * Certificate of incorporation * Goods and services tax registration certificate (GST) * Permanent account number card (PAN) * Shop establishment certificate * Udyog Aadhar (UID) * Utility bill 2. **Once your Facebook business account is verified, below are the prerequisites to be followed for WhatsApp number onboarding at SaleAssist side :** * Facebook Business Manager ID - 15-16 digit * Please share a fresh number you want to onboard a new business phone number ?
