If you have a disabled account or ad account, that may require you to start a verification process so you could get your account back up and running!


  1. Go to business.facebook.com and select the appropriate Business Manager.

  2. Click “Security Center”

  3. Select the blue button that says “Start Verification Process”

  4. Follow the prompted steps. Note – You will need to submit one of the following documents to verify your business name and address.

    • Articles of incorporation

    • Business bank statement

    • Business License

    • Employer identification number (EIN)

    • IRS SS-4 (EIN Assignment Letter)

    • IRS 147c (EIN Confirmation Letter)

    • Taxpayer identification number

  5. Wait until you receive an email/notification that you have been approved.
    If you get approved, you’re good to go! If not, then move on to these next steps:

    • Go back into your Business Manager settings

    • Click “Ad Accounts.” If you’re still disabled, click “See Details.”

    • On the top right, click “Request Review.” (Note - You must have Admin level access)

    • Wait 3-5 business days to see the verdict on whether or not Facebook will change its decision. If they do not, further policies may have been violated and they should provide that information to you.
