Facebook Identity Confirmation – Mail Code Identification Arrival Time?

Are you completing the mandatory Facebook identification process because you have a Facebook Page with high potential reach or you want to run ads about social issues, elections or politics? Part of the identity confirmation requires you to confirm your primary country location by confirming your mailing address. Facebook will send you a verification code in the mail within 3 to 7 business days of applying for one. However, we did not receive our verification code until 13 days later in the United States, so be patient.

Our Facebook verification code arrived in a standard white mailing envelope, pictured below:

An example letter from Facebook:

Hi NAME,

Here’s your unique code code to confirm your identity on Facebook:

6-DIGIT CODE

Visit www.facebook.com/id and enter this code before DATE.

We sent you this letter because you recently requested authorization to run ads about social issues, elections or politics.

Thanks, The Facebook Security Team
