</div></div></div><div id="bkmrk-to-access-certain-pr"><div><div><div><div><div id="bkmrk-to-access-certain-pr-1"><div><div>To access certain product and features, you may need to verify your business in Meta Business Suite to help us confirm that your business portfolio belongs to a legitimate business or organization.

Verifying your business helps:

- <div>Ensure your business is a legal entity. Your business needs to be registered with local authorities and you’ll need an official phone number or mailing address for your business.</div>
- <div>Demonstrate you’re an authorized representation of your business. You’ll need to be able to receive a verification code sent to the phone number or email address of your business, or [verify your business portfolio’s domain](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/321167023127050).</div>

Verifying your business may also give you access to select advertising, developer, billing or spending options.

**Note:** Verifying your business in Meta Business Suite is different from [Meta Verified for businesses](https://www.facebook.com/business/help/308979828303560) and won’t give you a verified badge.

</div><div><div>### When to verify your business

</div>Not all businesses need to or have the option to complete verification.

Go to [Security Center](https://business.facebook.com/latest/settings/security_center) in Meta Business Suite for your business. You’ll see either **Start verification** or **Ineligible for verification**.

However, depending on the product or feature you want to access that requires you to verify your business, you may be emailed or notified from a platform other than Security Center to complete the verification process.

Use the dropdowns below to learn more about some common products or features you may want to use that may require verification. This may not be an exhaustive list.
