Facebook, in its effort to guarantee the credibility of advertisements, mandates advertisers to verify their identity prior to promoting any content related to social causes, politics, or elections. This article details the simple process of verifying your Facebook Ads account.
Step 1: Navigate to Your Ad Account Settings
Log in to your Facebook account and click on the arrow on the top right corner of your screen to access the dropdown menu. From here, select Manage Ads. This will take you to your Ads Manager. Once you’re in your Ads Manager, select the Ad Account Settings on the left-hand side.
Step 2: Confirm Identity
In your ad account settings, find and click on the Confirm Identity button. You’ll be prompted to re-enter your password to ensure it’s really you.
Step 3: Complete the Verification Process
After you’ve confirmed your identity, you’ll be guided through a verification process that includes providing a government-issued ID and a residential mailing address. Facebook will then send a verification code to that address.
Submitting Government-Issued ID
When prompted, upload a clear image of your government-issued ID. Ensure that your full name, date of birth, and photo are visible. Facebook supports a variety of documents, like passports and driver’s licenses.
Enter Mailing Address
Enter your residential mailing address in the fields provided. This should be the address where you can receive mail, as Facebook will send a verification letter to this address.
Step 4: Enter Verification Code
Once you receive the verification letter, enter the code in the Facebook confirmation page. This page is accessible via the notification which Facebook will send to you once the letter is delivered.
Step 5: Await Confirmation
After submitting the code, your information will be reviewed. If everything is in order, your identity will be confirmed and you’ll be able to start running ads.
Verifying your Facebook Ads account is a straightforward process that adds an extra layer of security and integrity to your advertising efforts. If you face any troubles during the process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Facebook’s support for assistance.
