Cover card with a document and checklist, for rejected Meta business verification documents abroad.
Short answer

Meta usually rejects business verification when the legal name, address or phone on your documents doesn't match what you entered. Use official documents showing your legal business name: a trade licence in the UAE, an ACRA BizFile in Singapore, Companies House records in the UK, or ABN details in Australia. Match details exactly and resubmit.

Summary
  • Name and address must match exactly.
  • Use official registration documents.
  • Utility bills or bank statements can support the address.
  • Blurry or cropped scans get rejected.
  • Use a domain or phone that matches the business.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
