Hey everyone, I need to update my name on Facebook but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone guide me through the process? Are there any restrictions or things I should be aware of before making the change?
Before changing your name on Facebook, note that you can only do so once every 60 days. Use your real name as per your official ID to avoid account issues. Prepare to verify your change with additional documentation if needed. Updating your name may affect how others find and interact with you, so consider adjusting privacy settings accordingly.
To update your name, go to Settings & Privacy > Settings, click on “Edit” next to your name, enter your new name, review the change and save it.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. I’ve tried uploading a real ID that has my full name, including the middle name, but all they ever say is, we can’t verify your name.
No, you dont need a new account. If you’re looking to update your name on Facebook, start by logging into your account. Once you’re in, head over to the Settings section. From there, you’ll want to find Personal Information and select Name. This is where you can input your new first name, and if you choose, a middle name, followed by your last name. After you’ve entered your desired names, take a moment to double-check for accuracy and then confirm the changes by saving them.
