First, you&#8217;ll need to add an acceptable form of ID, such as your ID, before you can make changes. Then, you&#8217;ll need to save the changes. After saving, open the Facebook app on your iPhone and tap the menu icon at the top right corner. Now, you can change your name and email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_name_on_Facebook\"><\/span>Changing your name on Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change your name on Facebook, the answer is easy. Just follow the steps below. First, you need to sign in to Facebook. Then, select the &#8220;Newsfeed&#8221; tab from the main navigation bar. Next to your name, tap the &#8220;Add a nickname or birth name.&#8221; After adding the new name, save it. You may want to check your privacy settings, as well.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure that the name you are using is not a title or something else that isn&#8217;t your real name. Some names contain special characters or are capitalized differently. If your name contains some of these, Facebook may not accept it as an acceptable ID. Otherwise, make sure to use the name you identify with. If you don&#8217;t know your real name, you might need to look up the guidelines for using it on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acceptable_forms_of_ID\"><\/span>Acceptable forms of ID<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your name on Facebook, you can do so using acceptable forms of ID. Besides your ID, Facebook will also accept certain types of names, which are not generally accepted by the site. These names may include a mononym or unusual capitalization. Regardless, you should choose a name that you know and are comfortable using. After all, you can always change it later. Listed below are the acceptable forms of ID to change name on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying yourself is essential when changing your name on Facebook. You must present your ID to confirm your identity. It should match the name on your Facebook profile. You can also upload a photo. You can even use a government-issued ID to verify your identity. Once you provide the appropriate documents, Facebook will confirm your identity within 60 days. In some cases, the process may take a little longer &#8211; up to 48 hours for your name to be changed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notifying_everyone\"><\/span>Notifying everyone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your name on Facebook, you must be logged in. If you use a mobile phone, you can change your name with a photo of your ID. Facebook will then validate your name to make sure it matches your legal name. After changing your name, you have 60 days to update your profile with your new name. If you wish to change your name sooner, you can go back to your old name within 48 hours. Then, follow these steps to notify everyone about your new name:<\/p>\n<p>To change your name on Facebook, visit your profile and click Edit. Click on Name to change. You&#8217;ll need to verify your identity before you change your name. Facebook has rules about what kinds of documents you can use to verify your identity. If you have changed your name within the past 60 days, you may have been asked to submit identification to verify your identity. To avoid this problem, you can change your name before a Facebook administrator approves it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_primary_email_address\"><\/span>Changing your primary email address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to go to your settings page on Facebook and tap the Privacy menu. From there, you&#8217;ll see an option for Changing Your Primary Email Address. Click that option and type in your new primary email address. Facebook will send you a confirmation email. After entering your new email address, click Save. Your new primary email address will now be your primary email. Your old email address will be your secondary backup email address. You can delete your old email if you no longer need it.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve done that, go to Settings &gt; Email and phone. Scroll down until you see the email you want to make your primary address. Click the box to confirm your selection. You&#8217;ll now be able to change your primary email address on Facebook. You can also change the email address associated with your Facebook account. Once you&#8217;ve changed your primary email address, you can add or remove your secondary email address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Name in Facebook on Mobile If you&#8217;re wondering how to change name in Facebook on mobile, there are a few simple steps you can take.
