For accounts that are verified (have blue tick)

If you have an official WhatsApp Business Account (Blue Tick), Contact Facebook's Direct Support & provide the following details to change display name in your WhatsApp Business Account:

  • Question Topic: Request an Official Business Account

  • Request Type: Update OBA Display Name


Here's what's necessary to ensure your Display Name gets approved:

Most commonly, display names are rejected because Meta cannot establish a direct relationship between your desired Display Name and your existing Facebook business portfolio.

This can easily be resolved by clearly displaying both your Legal Business Name (as listed in the Business Info section of your Facebook Business Manager) and the desired Display Name in your website footer. Ensure the website URL matches exactly the one registered in your Facebook Business Manager.

Here is an example of how Spur handles it:
