To change your name on Facebook in 2025, follow these steps:
- Log into your Facebook account.
- Access Settings:
- On desktop, click the profile icon or the downward arrow at the top right.
- On mobile, tap the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu).
- Select Settings & Privacy, then Settings.
- Navigate to Name Settings:
- Under General Account Settings , find the Name section and click Edit next to it.
- Enter your new name:
- Type your new first name, middle name (optional), and last name.
- Make sure your new name complies with Facebook’s policies: use only letters (no numbers or special characters), avoid unusual capitalization, symbols, or offensive words, and use your real name or a name you are commonly known by.
- Review and confirm the change:
- Click Review Change to see how your new name will appear.
- Choose the display format (e.g., First Last or Last First).
- Enter your Facebook password to confirm.
- Save the changes:
- Click Save Changes to finalize.
Important notes:
- You can only change your name once every 60 days.
- Facebook might ask for identity verification by uploading an official document.
- If you manage a Facebook Page, changing your personal name does not affect the Page name; that must be changed separately.
- Your new name may take a few hours to reflect across Facebook.
This process is straightforward but must adhere to Facebook’s real name policy and naming rules to avoid issues
