Many users may want to change their name for various reasons like marriage, divorce, or if they prefer a different name online. But, the fact that you can only change your name once every 60 days can make the process difficult. We will walk you through verifying your identity, preparing your new name, and submitting a request for a name change so you can have the name you want on your Facebook profile in no time.
Verify Your Identity
Facebook requires identity verification for name changes to prevent abuse and ensure the safety of its users. Submit a government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, to verify your identity. You will need to ensure that all the information in your ID matches the information in your Facebook profile, like your name, date of birth, and photograph. Here are the steps you’ll need to take to verify your identity on Facebook: Facebook may take some time to review your ID, so you’ll need patience. Once your identity is verified, you’ll be able to move on to the next step in the name change process: preparing your new name. You must have a valid ID ready to upload, as it is one of the key requirements. Having the correct information about your ID will speed up the process.
Prepare Your New Name
To confirm that Facebook accepts your new nаme, follow these steps:
Facebook requires that users use their real names on the site. Nicknames, pseudonyms, and made-up names are not allowed. Facebook also prohibits certain names, such as offensive, misleading, or impersonating someone else.
Use your full legal name to ensure that Facebook accepts your name change request. Avoid using symbols, numbers, or special characters in your name, as these may be seen as attempts to circumvent the site’s real name policy. If you’re changing your name due to a chаnge in your legal name (e.g., marriage or divorce), ensure that you include official documentation with your name change request.
Submit a Request for a Name Change
To see that your request is processed as quickly as possible, follow these instructions: After you submit the request, Facebook will rеview your new name and any documentation you’ve provided. This process can take a few days, so you’ll need patience. You can track the status of your request by going back to the “Name” settings page and checking the review status. If your request is denied, Facebook will let you know why, and you may need to make the changes and resubmit the request. If your request is approved, your new name will be reflected on your profile, and your friends will be notified of the change. However, it’s worth noting that you mаy not be able to change your name again for the next 60 days from the date of the approved request.
Conclusion
Changing your Facebook name before the 60-day limit can be done by verifying your identity, preparing your new name, and submitting a request for a name change. Facebook has certain guidelines and rulрs that must be followed to have your name change request accepted. Double-check your new name before submitting the request, and regularly track the request’s status.
