Resuming Individual Verification

UPDATE on Apri 06, 2021 at 12PM PT: We have resumed Individual Verification following our temporary pause due to COVID-19. Developers may temporarily experience longer review times than normal.

In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Facebook has been supporting the global public health community’s work to keep people safe and informed. We’ve announced a number of actions we’re taking to make sure everyone has access to up-to-date, accurate information, as well as steps to stop misinformation and harmful content while supporting global health experts, local governments, businesses and communities.

We also recently announced we’re temporarily sending content reviewers home. We want to make sure our platform remains a safe place for people to connect during this time, but with a reduced and remote workforce, we must make temporary changes to our operations.

As a result, we’ve paused individual verification for developers. We’ll resume verification as soon as we can. Business verification will still be available. We are continuing to monitor other impacts this may have on our processes, and we’ll provide updates as the situation evolves.

While we’re working to minimize disruptions, we anticipate that this change will cause inconvenience for our developer community. We appreciate your patience and partnership as we navigate through this unprecedented time together.
