# How to Get a Blue Verification Badge on WhatsApp

The blue verification badge (blue checkmark) on WhatsApp is part of Meta Verified, a paid subscription offered by Meta.

The blue verification badge (blue checkmark) on WhatsApp is part of [**Meta Verified**](https://business.whatsapp.com/resources/resource-library/meta-verified-business), a paid subscription offered by Meta. It is **not available** through Chatfuel.

> **Not the same as business verification or green checkmark.** [Business verification](https://chatfuel.com/docs/whatsapp/verify-your-meta-business-account) is a separate process that unlocks messaging limits — it does not give you any badge. The [green checkmark](https://chatfuel.com/docs/whatsapp/how-to-get-a-green-badge) (Official Business Account) is also a different process.

## Can I get the blue badge with Chatfuel? [#can-i-get-the-blue-badge-with-chatfuel]

It depends on how you connect your number:

* **WhatsApp Business App number** — subscribe to [Meta Verified](https://business.whatsapp.com/resources/resource-library/meta-verified-business) in the WhatsApp Business App to get the blue badge.
* **New number from Chatfuel** — if you get a new number through Chatfuel, it's connected via the API and is not eligible for Meta Verified. You cannot get the blue badge for this number.

## What you can get instead [#what-you-can-get-instead]

If you're using Chatfuel (WhatsApp Business Platform), you can apply for:

* **[Green badge](https://chatfuel.com/docs/whatsapp/how-to-get-a-green-badge)** — Official Business Account (OBA) status, which shows your business name with a green checkmark. This is the equivalent verification for API-connected numbers.
* **[Business verification](https://chatfuel.com/docs/whatsapp/verify-your-meta-business-account)** — verifies your Meta business portfolio, unlocks higher messaging limits, and is a prerequisite for the green badge.
