I have an Instagram page for orris and the thing is, I am not able to make a Facebook page of it because it requires a real identity card, but it's an AI company. So what is the thing I could do so that I am able to create a meta profile, a Facebook profile, so that I can access MetaSuites and every other API feature for the Instagram and Facebook for orris.care?

Here's the complete picture of your situation and the path forward:
The Core Reality: Meta Requires a Personal Account
Meta's policy is non-negotiable on this — every Facebook Page must be owned and administered by at least one real personal Facebook account. There is no way to create a standalone business page without a personal account behind it. This applies to all companies, including AI companies.
The ID verification issue you're hitting is not about the business needing an ID — it's about the individual person (you, a co-founder, or a team member) needing to verify their personal Facebook profile.
What You Should Actually Do
Step 1: Use a Real Person's Facebook Account (Yours or a Team Member's)
The personal Facebook account doesn't have to be visible to the public — it just needs to exist as an admin behind the scenes. This is how every company operates on Meta, including major corporations. The personal account is the "key holder," not the public face.
- Create a personal Facebook account using your real name and verify it with your ID.
- The public will never see your personal account — they only see the Orris business page.
Step 2: Create a Facebook Business Page for Orris
Once you have a personal account:
- Go to facebook.com/pages/create
- Create a Page named Orris (or orris.care)
- Set the category to "Software" or "Internet company" or "Artificial Intelligence"
- This Page becomes the public face of Orris on Facebook.
Step 3: Set Up a Meta Business Portfolio (formerly Business Manager)
This is the key step that separates the business from your personal account and gives you full API/Meta Suite access:
- Go to business.facebook.com
- Log in with your personal Facebook account
- Create a Business Portfolio (enter "Orris" or "orris.care" as the business name)
- Add your Facebook Page and your Instagram account to this portfolio
Once inside the Business Portfolio:
- You can add other team members as admins (so it's not just tied to you personally)
- You can access Meta Business Suite for scheduling, analytics, inbox
- You can access Meta Ads Manager
- You can connect to the Instagram Graph API and Facebook Graph API for developers
Step 4: Link Your Existing Instagram to the Facebook Page
Since you already have an Instagram page for Orris:
- In Meta Business Suite → Settings → Accounts → Instagram accounts
- Connect your existing Instagram account
- This unlocks all API features for Instagram (posting, insights, webhooks, etc.)
Addressing the ID Concern Specifically
The ID verification Meta asks for is for:
- Personal account identity checks (if flagged as suspicious)
- Meta Verified subscription (optional paid badge)
- Business Verification (for advanced ad features — uses company documents, not personal ID)
For business verification (which gives you higher ad spend limits and more API trust), you use company documents (business registration, tax ID, domain verification) — not a personal ID. This is the path for orris.care as a company.
Summary Path
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Create/use a real personal Facebook account (founder or team member) |
| 2 | Create a Facebook Page named Orris |
| 3 | Set up a Meta Business Portfolio at business.facebook.com |
| 4 | Add the Facebook Page + Instagram account to the portfolio |
| 5 | Add other admins so the business isn't dependent on one person |
| 6 | Verify the business (using company docs) for full API/ad access |
The personal account is just the doorway — once the Business Portfolio is set up, Orris operates as the entity, and you can grant access to the whole team without exposing any individual's personal profile.
So I have created a business account on Facebook and I logged in via my normal Facebook account, but I assigned the business portfolio to my working email. So now how do I log in? Should I log in always with my personal account to access it or do I get another password or something like that to log in from different devices through my business account?
Checking Date & Time
Good question — this confuses a lot of people. Here's exactly how it works:
How Meta Business Suite Login Works
There is no separate password for the Business Portfolio. The Business Portfolio is not a standalone account — it's a layer on top of your personal Facebook account.
You always log in with your personal Facebook account.
That's the only login method. When you go to business.facebook.com, you sign in with your personal Facebook credentials, and Meta then shows you all the Business Portfolios you have access to.
What "Assigned to Your Work Email" Actually Means
When you set up the Business Portfolio and entered your work email (e.g., you@orris.care), that email was used for:
- Business contact/notification email — where Meta sends billing receipts, policy alerts, etc.
- Business verification — to prove domain ownership
It does not create a separate login. It's just metadata on the portfolio.
Logging In on Different Devices
On any device, the flow is:
- Go to business.facebook.com (or open Meta Business Suite app)
- Log in with your personal Facebook account (email/phone + password)
- Once logged in, you'll land inside your Business Portfolio for Orris automatically
That's it. No second password, no separate business credentials.
How to Let Team Members Access It
If you want other people (e.g., colleagues at orris.care) to access the portfolio without using your personal account, the right way is:
- Inside Meta Business Suite → Settings → People
- Click Add People → enter their personal Facebook account's email
- Assign them a role (Admin, Employee, etc.)
- They accept the invite and then access the portfolio through their own personal Facebook login
Each person logs in with their own personal Facebook account — they never need yours.
TL;DR
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I get a separate business password? | No |
| How do I log in? | Always via your personal Facebook account |
| What was the work email for? | Business contact/notifications, not login |
| Can teammates access it separately? | Yes — invite them, they use their own Facebook login |
The personal Facebook account is permanently the key. This is Meta's design — they link every business action back to a real person for accountability.
I have added my IG page but its still not visible here
I can see the issue clearly from your screenshot. The Business Suite is showing the orris.care portfolio but says "No Facebook Pages or Instagram accounts" — meaning the Instagram account was either not properly added to this specific portfolio, or the connection didn't complete.
Here's how to fix it:
Step 1: Go to Business Settings
Click Settings (bottom left of the sidebar) → this takes you to the Business Portfolio settings.
Step 2: Add the Instagram Account
- In Settings, look for Accounts in the left panel
- Click Instagram accounts
- Click Add → Connect your Instagram account
- Log in with your Orris Instagram credentials when prompted
- Grant the requested permissions
Why It Might Have Failed Previously
The most common reasons the IG account doesn't show up even after "adding" it:
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| You added it to your personal Facebook, not the Business Portfolio | Re-add it from inside Business Settings |
| The Instagram is a personal profile, not a Professional account | Switch it to a Creator or Business account in Instagram app settings first |
| The connection was started but permissions weren't fully granted | Re-do the connection and accept all permission prompts |
| Instagram account is already linked to a different Business Portfolio | Remove it from the other portfolio first |
Critical Prerequisite: Instagram Must Be a Professional Account
Before connecting, make sure your Instagram is set to Business or Creator:
- Open Instagram app → Profile → ☰ Menu → Settings → Account
- Tap Switch to Professional Account
- Choose Business → follow the steps
- Once done, go back to Meta Business Suite and connect it
Once connected properly, it will show up on the Home dashboard alongside your Facebook Page.
It is showing this but on the home it is not showing any account
I can see the problem from your screenshot. You're in the People/Users section — you can see Orris Care (@orris.care) is listed as a person with "Inactive" status, but that's not where Instagram accounts are connected.
The Accounts section in the left sidebar is what you need — and it currently has no Instagram accounts added under it.
Do This Right Now
1. Click "Instagram accounts" in the left sidebar (you can see it listed under Accounts)
2. It will show an empty list — click + Add
3. Choose "Connect your Instagram account"
4. Log in with your Orris Instagram credentials
5. Accept all permissions
Also — Important Issue I Spotted
I can see "Orris Care (@orris.care)" is listed under People as "Inactive." This suggests your Instagram account was added as a person/user instead of as an account asset. That's the wrong place — Instagram accounts belong under Accounts → Instagram accounts, not under Users → People.
What to Check
Once you click Instagram accounts in the sidebar:
- If it's empty → Add it fresh using the steps above
- If it shows @orris.care there but still doesn't appear on the Home dashboard → the Instagram account likely needs to be switched to a Professional (Business) account in the Instagram app first
Also notice Pages under Accounts — that's probably empty too, which is why the Home shows nothing. You'll need a Facebook Page connected as well for full Business Suite functionality.
You can see the Instagram is linked
The Instagram is correctly linked to the portfolio. The reason the Home dashboard still shows nothing is the missing Facebook Page — Meta Business Suite's Home requires at least one Facebook Page to display the dashboard properly.
The Fix: You Need a Facebook Page
Notice in your sidebar under Accounts → Pages — that's empty. Business Suite Home only activates fully once a Facebook Page is connected.
Do this now:
1. Click "Pages" in the left sidebar (under Accounts)
2. Click "+ Add" → you'll get three options:
- Add a Page (if you already created one)
- Create a new Page (if you haven't)
- Request access to a Page
3. Choose "Create a new Page" → name it Orris or Orris Care, category: Software/AI/Technology
4. Once the Page is created and added, go back to Home — both the Facebook Page and Instagram will now show up there.
Why This Is Required
Meta Business Suite's Home dashboard is designed around a Facebook Page as the anchor. The Instagram account shows up alongside the Page — not independently. Without a Page, the Home just shows that empty state you saw earlier, even if Instagram is correctly connected in Settings.
Once the Page is live, everything ties together — the Home shows both accounts, Content/Inbox/Insights work for both, and your Instagram API access is also fully unlocked.
