unable to access certain Facebook features while we work with you to confirm or edit the name
on your account.
To confirm or edit your name, log in to your Facebook account and follow the onscreen
instructions. You may be asked to upload an ID or something else from our ID list (ex:
membership cards, mail) that shows the name you use in everyday life.
What types of ID does Facebook accept?
If you need to confirm your name on Facebook, or if you've lost access to your account, you may
be asked to send us a copy of something with your name on it. You have several different options
for this, including photo IDs issued by the government, IDs from nongovernment organizations,
official certificates or licenses that include your name or other physical items like a magazine
subscription or a piece of mail.
Any time you send us something that confirms your name or identity, please cover up any
personal information we don't need to see (ex: credit card number, Social Security number). Also
keep in mind that we encrypt everyone's connection to Facebook by default and delete anything
that you've sent to us after we've confirmed your name or identity.
Learn more about how Facebook protects the privacy and security of your information when you
submit an ID.

Using your name on Facebook
We understand that the name you use in everyday life might be different from your legal name.
We want you to be able to use the name you most identify with on your Facebook profile.
What names are allowed on Facebook?
Facebook is a community where everyone uses the name they go by in everyday life. This makes
it so that you always know who you're connecting with.
Your name can't include:
• Symbols, numbers, unusual capitalization, repeating characters or punctuation.
• Characters from multiple languages.
• Titles of any kind (example: professional, religious).
• Words or phrases in place of a name.
• Offensive or suggestive words of any kind.
If your name follows our standards and you're still having trouble changing it, find out why.
Other things to keep in mind:
• The name on your profile should be the name that your friends call you in everyday life. This
name should also appear on an ID or document from our ID list.
• Nicknames can be used as a first or middle name if they're a variation of your authentic name
(like Bob instead of Robert).
• You can also list another name on your account (example: maiden name, nickname,
professional name).
• Profiles are for individual use only. You can create a Page for a business, organization or
idea.
• Pretending to be anything or anyone isn't allowed.

I'm in the process of changing my name. Which name should I use on Facebook?
You should use whichever first and last name you most identify with and use in everyday life. If
you're asked to confirm your name, you can submit something from our ID list.

Facebook can accept combinations of things like a magazine subscription and a utility bill, or a
piece of mail and a credit card statement.

A languagespecific name is your Facebook name translated into another language. If someone
uses Facebook in the same language as your languagespecific name, they'll see your language
specific name in your profile, search results, posts, comments and photo tags. You'll also see
your languagespecific name if you use Facebook in that language.

same on Facebook as it does on things like a magazine subscription, ID or membership card.

Managing your privacy
If you're concerned about using your name on Facebook, we have tools that can help you
manage what information people can see about you.
What is public information?
Something that’s public can be seen by anyone. That includes people who aren’t your friends,
people off of Facebook and people who use different media such as print, broadcast (ex:
television) and other sites on the Internet. For example, if you use our services to provide a real
time public comment to a television show, that may appear on the show or elsewhere on
Facebook.
What information is public?
Information you share that is always public: Some of the information you give us when you fill
out your profile is public, such as your age range, language and country. We also use a part of
your profile, called your Public Profile, to help connect you with friends and family. Your Public
Profile includes your name, gender, username and user ID (account number), profile picture,
cover photo and networks. This info is also public. Some of the ways this helps us connect you
are:
• Your name, profile picture and cover photo help people recognize you
• Gender helps us describe you (ex: "Add her as a friend")
• Listing your networks (ex: school, workplace) allows others to find you more easily
• Username and user ID (ex: your account number) are in the URL of your profile
• Age range helps provide you with ageappropriate content
• Language and country help us provide appropriate content and experiences
Information you share publicly: When you choose to share something with Public (ex: when
you select Public from the audience selector), it’s considered public information. If you share
something and you don’t see an audience selector or another privacy setting, that information is
also public. Learn more about using the audience selector to control who you share with when
you post to Facebook.
Stuff other people share: If other people share info about you, even if it’s something you shared
with them but did not make public, they can choose to make it public. Also when you comment on
other people’s public posts, your comment is public as well.
Posts on Facebook Pages or public groups: Facebook Pages and public groups are public
spaces. Anyone who can see the Page or group can see your post or comment. Generally, when
you post or comment on a Page or to a public group, a story can be published in News Feed as
well as other places on or off Facebook.
Remember that public information can:
• Be associated with you, even off Facebook
• Show up when someone does a search on Facebook or on another search engine
• Be accessible to Facebookintegrated games, applications and websites you and your friends
use
• Be accessible to anyone who uses our APIs, such as our Graph API

What is blocking and how do I block someone?
When you block someone they will no longer be able to do things such as tag you or see things
you post on your timeline.
What exactly happens when I block someone?
When you block someone, they won't be able to:
• See things you post on your profile
• Tag you in posts, comments or photos
• Invite you to events or groups
• Start a conversation with you
• Add you as a friend
If you block someone you're friends with, we'll unfriend you as well. If you don't want to unfriend
someone but see less of their posts on Facebook, you can take a break from them
When you block someone, you also won't be able to do things like start a conversation with
them or add them as a friend. Keep in mind that blocking someone may not prevent all
communications or interactions (example: in apps or groups) and only affects your interactions
with that person on Facebook.
To block someone in your blocking settings:
1 Click at the top right of Facebook and choose Settings.
2 Go to the left side of Facebook and click Blocking
3 Click Blocking in the left side menu.
4 Enter the name of the person you want to block and click Block.

If you can't find someone using this method, try going to the person's profile and selecting Block
from the menu on their cover photo.
Note: When you unblock someone, you won't automatically be friends again. If you block a friend
and then unblock them, you'll need to send them a new friend request.
