How to Change Facebook Profile Name after Name Limits Reached.

Your Facebook Account Name limit is Reached or Exceeded?

So do you want to change your Facebook Profile Name after Name Limit reach? 😉

If so, just follow the simple method written below,

Mostly many people don’t know that facebook keeps some limits for Pages, Profiles, Groups, Friends, Events etc. Just like we can’t change a facebook profile name after 5 times, we can’t change our profile username more than 1 time, we can’t change a facebook page name after 200 Likes, we can’t change a facebook group name after reaching 250 members, we can’t add more than 5000 friends to our facebook profile and it is not possible to change the name of an event if it has more than 5000 people invited.

 

Nowadays, I’ve seen many keeping their facebook profile names in Different stylishFonts like ȼɦǿȼLąty Þrîñçé, Nitesh Iı’e Belııve’ııŋ Mąh-self, Іі’є-єм Ѕэжҷ’Айԁ Її’ Ќйѳщ’Їт, Маиѳг Кнцмая etc. But facebook is banning the accounts who are using those type of stylish fonts, fake names.

Also, make sure that your name can’t include:

  • Titles of any kind (ex: professional, religious, etc)
  • Symbols, repeating characters or punctuation, unusual capitalization, and numbers
  • Words, phrases, or nicknames in the place of a middle name
  • Offensive or suggestive content of any kind
  • Characters from multiple languages

 

 

As per facebook rules, the profile name which you use should be your real name as it would be listed on your credit card, student ID, govt-issued proof etc. So I personally suggest everyone to keep your facebook account with a real name(without any fonts or special characters).

So if your profile name limit is exceeded and want to change your facebook profile name to real name, then click the below button,

Fill that form and you have to upload your valid Government-issued Proof – photo ID like a Passport or Driver’s license etc and when your upload finishes, finally click “Send” button.

Any 1 Proof will be enough in the list of below examples,
Examples:

  • Green card, residence permit or immigration papers
  • Birth certificate
  • Personal or vehicle insurance card
  • Marriage certificate
  • Official name change paperwork
  • Voter ID card
  • Nondriver’s government ID (ex. disability, SNAP or national ID card)

Note: If you don’t have a government-issued Proof-photo ID, you can submit copies of any 2 other documents that hat together show your full name, birthday, and picture. Any 2 Proofs will be needed in the list of below examples,

Examples:

  • Credit card
  • Utility bill
  • School or work ID
  • Library card
  • Check
  • Bus card

For more information about the submission of proofs, check the facebook help center page by Clicking Here.

 

Also check: Did you added ‘Trusted Contacts” to your Facebook Account?

 

So when you submit your proofs, facebook staff will verify it and they will change your name to the real name as which was listed on the proofs that you submit. This whole process may take 4-5 days or 6-7 days like that. But we can’t say any exact prediction that they will change our name within the specific time. Mostly it will take 4-7 days.

My Personal Experience: Earlier I faced this problem and facebook asked me to submit any valid proof and I submitted my College ID card picture by taking a snap from my mobile. Facebook staff verified it and changed my name within 4-5 days. So I suggest you to take a clear picture of your proof either by scanning or by capturing from a good camera or mobile.

  5. Hi,
    I am admin for a charity page which has not ‘used their one time username/URL name change’ chance yet since first setting up the page. So why when I click ‘edit’ is there no option offered or box to type in as there is with other pages I manage. I have submitted ID a week ago for the Page name change and all was accepted well. Is there anywhere to contact with FB to tell them that there is a en error somewhere if we haven’t used our ‘1 time’ chance but still are not allowed to change the username?

    Thanks in advance for your help / advice.

    1. Avinash Prince

      There are no such facilities to inform them about these kinds of issues. But you can send your message by submitting the ID proofs.

  6. I have changed my “FB page URL” twice but the second time i have entered a lil error, just a character to be removed. How can i reach out to FB to let them know this or how can i change it myself. Any way out?

    1. Avinash Prince

      In help center, there is a form to submit these kinds of issues, but I guess, they’ll ask you proofs to that page to change the url.

      1. Can you take a moment more and point to that help centre link?? I couldn’t find one where i can submit my request….

    i tried to do this
    http://staging.tricks99.net/2013/05/How-to-Change-Facebook-Profile-Name-After-Name-Limits-Reached-Exceeded.html

    but when i go to this link (https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/245617802141709?rdrhc) to upload my ID card it shows me tthis…

    "Why do I have to wait to change my name?

    You can't change your name right now because you've changed it too recently. After 60 days, you'll be able to change your name again.

    Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. We limit how often people can change their name, so you always know who you're connecting with. This helps keep our community safe.

    If you'd like to list a second name on your account (ex: maiden name, nickname, professional name), you can add another name to your profile."

  15. Hi Avinash,

    It is great to see you are helping people out.
    My facebook account has been disabled for no reason, i submitted a copy of my passport in colour but it has been 7 days and they did not activate my account yet.

    What shall i do?
    Thanks.

  16. Bro.. facebook team has changed my name.. thanks for helping me out… and 5 * to your method… salute… but why can't i change it anymore?? i mean there is no option to chnage it or my previous names added to my timelines have been removed… why is that so??

    1. Yes, you won't be able to change your name again. All previous names will be removed. Only the new name will be seen and it will permanent. You cannot change it again.

    1. Sorry bro. There is no guarantee that fb staff will approve this for all people. If you submitted valid documents, then there is a chance that you will get name change succesfully.

  17. Bro i sent my id and name request today…. but u mentioned that user will receive email… so far i haven't recieved any email… r u sure about this???will they accept my request??? and in how many days they process request changing name??

    1. You will just recieve an email that you have submitted the proofs. Thats it!!

      There is no guarantee that fb staff will approve this for all people. If you submitted valid documents, then there is a chance that you will get name chnage succesfully. It may take 4-7days!!

    1. I did, yes, but still without reply or any changes of the requested name :/
      This is what that email contains:

      "Hi,

      So, I fulfilled these two steps once more, after providing it on FB, and send it back.

      There's been a week without any reply since then ! How long should I wait?

    2. Avinash Prince

      Sometimes you will get your name chnaged after 10days, sometimes it may take 7 days like that. So we cant say any partcular prediction.

    1. lol, no. It wont work by sending a fb pro pic. You must send only govt issued proofs like I said in this above post.

  18. hi….i did every step which u have written there…but unfortunately facebook hasn't changed my profile name…i even got an e-mail from facebook that my try is canceled…..:(….they haven't changed my name….what to do now…?….help me plzzz…:'(

    1. Sorry bro, I did everything by explaining in the above post. The rest shd be done by Fb staff only. We cant do anything if they dont chnage our name but atleast I tried my best to help you bby explaining the method in this post.

    1. Thats what I posted above. Just read the entire above post, with this you can change ur fb name to ur real name which was listed on ur govt issued proofs or colg/school Id.

    1. You should send only 1 time but not many times. if U send too many times, They wont activate ur id.

      They wont replyto anyone. They will simply activate or change ur fb name [Automatically]

    1. No, You wont get any 5 reset limits. Your name will be changed as per the name on Ur submitted proof and It will be final. You can never change ur name again or you wont get any 1 reset limit too.

  19. Thank you for this 🙂
    Quick question though, after this process, will the change name limit reset? Meaning I can change name again (without going through this process) like before? Or I'm stuck with my previous names along with the new one(the one I passed an ID for). Thank you in advance! 😀

    1. When facebook accepts your Valid-ID proof , Your profile will be given a permanent name [ The name which was present on ur ID Proof ] . So you cannot change ur profile name again -_-

    2. @deepak sharma, If you don’t have a government-issued Proof-photo ID, You can submit copies of any 2 other documents that together show your full name, birthday and picture.
      Any 2 Proofs will be needed in the list of below examples,

      Examples :
      Credit card
      Utility bill
      School or work ID
      Library card
      Check
      Bus card.

      For more information about the Submission of Proofs, check this page >> https://www.facebook.com/help/159096464162185/

    1. no , sorry . Therz no tricks for changing username but facebook is giving a chance to everyone now-a-days to change username one more time automatically in username settings . So you should wait for ur luck 😀

    2. Srikanth , sorry bro . Its not possible. I tried a lot to check any tricks for that, but Therz no official way or tricks to change again more than one time ! !

      If I get any trick for that, I will post it here on Tricks99.com 🙂

  20. Do I have to send them copy of my ID or I can just took a photo of it with my phone? And also, will it work if I'm from Slovakia (Europe)? Thanks for answer))

    1. Ya , You can take a photo from ur cell phone of ur id card but picture should be more clear :))

      This process is meant for entire world 😀 So Europe people can successfully change their name now by following the method in this post :))

    1. Facebook will automatically change your profile name when they verify your valid proof ids , It may takes 4-7 days . . so how many days back you submitted your proofs ??

    1. Did you took clear photograph of ur Adhar card ??

      we have to submit a clear photographs of valid government-issued Proof , so that facebook staff will check it and will approve your name change within 4-6 days 🙂

    1. Avinash Prince

      Kartik , facebook needs documents to verify . without documents they wont change any name . so please try to find any document .

      I hope you can easily submit your colg id card or school card or birth certificate etc etc

    2. ID proof k upr mera real name hai..pr mein apna nick name use kr raha hun….kyoki mujhe sabi nick name se jante han…

      for exmp: ID proof pr mera name Gurvinder singh Dhaliwal hai..lekn mein Guri Dhaliwal likhna chata hun…to kya krna hoga

    3. @SDO Bhikhi,

      We cant set whatever name we want ! ! Coz our name will get changed as per the name you have on ID Proof, I guess you will get << Gurvinder singh Dhaliwal >> only as Ur profile name ! !
