Verify your organization’s email domain in Admin Center
This article is only applicable to admins with relevant permissions.
Verifying your domain proves that you own it. This prevents anyone else from using your domain in Admin Center. Other benefits of verifying your domain include:
- The ability to generate an activation link for accounts that have been added but not yet activated
- The ability to edit all profile fields
- More granular control of how single sign-on (SSO) works
All admins and people who use managed Meta accounts for business tools (example: Business Manager) must use a trusted or verified domain. If you are unable to verify a domain (example: you don’t own the domain or it’s been verified in another Admin Center), then you can add it as a trusted domain.
Verify your organization’s domain
- Click Security in the left menu of Admin Center.
- Click Domain verification in the left menu.
- Click Add domain in the top right.
- Enter your domain name, then click Add domain.
- Click Verify next to the domain you have added.
- Select one of the three available options to verify your domain:
- Email verification (immediate): You’ll need access to an admin email, such as admin@(domain name).
- HTML file upload (immediate): You’ll need access to your website’s root folder.
- DNS TXT record (up to 72 hours): You’ll need to sign into your domain name provider.
- Complete the on-screen instructions for the option you choose.
If you need to verify multiple domains, you will need to follow the instructions above for each individual domain.
Note: Ensure you are allowing emails from work.meta.com.
Verifying your domain by DNS TXT record
To verify your domain by DNS TXT record, you will need to:
- Update your DNS record with the TXT string that Admin Center provides you when you select DNS TXT record (up to 72 hours) in the steps above.
- Follow instructions on updating your DNS record from your domain registrar, otherwise known as a DNS registrar.
If you don’t know who your domain registrar is, try one of these options:
- Look for a receipt or other form of record from when you purchased your domain name. Your domain registrar will be listed there.
- Use a third-party service that offers this sort of information, such as WHOIS, Go Daddy, and ICANN Lookup.
Then, find your domain provider’s instructions on updating your DNS record to add the TXT string provided.
When completed, it can take up to 72 hours for your website servers to be updated with the DNS configuration changes.
Your domain registrar’s guide will not be affiliated with Admin Center in any way. If you aren’t sure what to do, consult your domain registrar’s support resources.
