Prerequisites checklist
Before you sign up on Utter and click Continue with Meta, prepare the items below. Having them ready saves time and reduces verification failures.
Quick checklist
| Ready? | Item | Why Meta / Utter need it |
|---|---|---|
| ☐ | Business registration documents | Prove your company is legally registered |
| ☐ | Business email | Confirm you control the company (often domain-matched email) |
| ☐ | Eligible phone number | WhatsApp Business API number + OTP |
| ☐ | Facebook / Meta admin access | Create or manage WhatsApp Business Account |
| ☐ | Website or public presence | Helps Meta trust and verify your business |
| ☐ | Matching legal business name & address | Must match documents, Meta form, and website |
Recommended order
- Gather official documents and write down the exact legal name and address
- Confirm a business email (ideally
@yourwebsite.com) works - Get a phone number not used on WhatsApp
- Make sure your website is live and shows the same company name
- Confirm you can log into Facebook/Meta as an admin
- Then start the Onboarding Guide
Time estimate
| Stage | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Gathering prerequisites | Depends on your documents (minutes to a day) |
| Utter signup + Meta connect | About 10 minutes once ready |
| Meta business review | Minutes to several business days |
