Facebook Ad Error: "Provided ID Is Not A Valid Form: Verify that you are an admin of the page to which this form belongs."

Post Body

Okay, so I'm a small business owner and I want to run paid ads on Facebook. But I receive this error message:

"Provided ID Is Not A Valid Form: Verify that you are an admin of the page to which this form belongs. Otherwise, check that you are providing a type (form) that correctly corresponds to the ID and try again. "

I typed this error message into several search engines and did not find any relevant information whatsoever. I suppose this is a relatively new error message.

Regardless, I created my business page. Obviously I am an admin. There is nothing to click on in the error message.

So what does it mean? Do I have to provide Facebook with a picture of my driver's license or something in order to run ads for my Facebook business page? Where do I do that? Why wouldn't the error message including a hyperlink to wherever I'm supposed to provide a valid form of ID? I've run several Facebook ads in the past without ever running into a problem like this.
