Your display name will need to be approved by WhatsApp before an updated certificate becomes available. After this is approved, please let us know, so we can install the new channel and update the certificate.

**Your business can change the display names up to 4 times in a 30-day period. Once the 30-day period is up, a new 30-day period begins and your businesses can again change the display names up to 4 times in this new 30-day period.**\
