Facebook will usually respond within one to five business days. However, Facebook receives many reports daily and it may take them longer to process your report. Use this form only if you cannot log in, as it is meant to help people who can&#8217;t log in. You can also call Facebook customer service to find out if your account has been permanently locked.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documentation_required_to_unlock_a_temporarily_locked_Facebook_account\"><\/span>Documentation required to unlock a temporarily locked Facebook account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If your Facebook account has been temporarily locked, you can unlock it by submitting certain documents. These documents include a photo ID that is valid, as well as a copy of your government-issued ID. Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your ID, you&#8217;ll need to wait for Facebook to verify your identity within two business days. Upon receiving confirmation of your identity, you can then proceed to unlock your account.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of reasons that may have resulted in a temporarily locked Facebook account. For instance, you may have violated Facebook&#8217;s security policies, or you&#8217;ve been involved in too much activity in a group. In either case, the documentation required to unlock your account must be complete. However, if you&#8217;ve accidentally violated one of Facebook&#8217;s community standards, it&#8217;s possible to recover your account.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you&#8217;ll need to fill out the form on Facebook&#8217;s website. Include a detailed explanation of your problem, including whether you&#8217;re unable to receive a security code, and attach a copy of your photo ID, login email, or phone number. Facebook will then contact you. You can also attach a screenshot of the error that you&#8217;re experiencing. You&#8217;ll also need to include your active email address.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_why_your_account_could_be_locked\"><\/span>Reasons why your account could be locked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason why your Facebook account could be locked is because of suspicious activity. Facebook has its own security system that locks your account temporarily for security purposes. However, there are cases wherein you&#8217;ve accidentally locked your account without your knowledge. This is a common mistake, and you may not have received the security code after following the instructions. In such cases, you should consult the Facebook support team to have your account unlocked as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve locked your account for several times, contact Facebook support. You can also submit a request via the &#8220;Report a login issue&#8221; form, which is designed to address these issues. When submitting your request, make sure to include a screenshot of the error screen so that Facebook officials can better understand the problem. It will take Facebook anywhere from one to 10 business days to respond. After you report the problem, you can use this time to change your password and access your account again.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been banned from Facebook, there are several reasons why. For instance, you&#8217;ve sent too many friend requests, or you&#8217;ve made too many wall posts or videos. If you&#8217;ve been hacked, you may be flagged as well. In either case, you may be asked to verify your identity, scan your computer, or answer security questions. This is because Facebook considers these actions to be suspicious and could lead to account ban.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contacting_Facebook_support\"><\/span>Contacting Facebook support<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have locked your account, you can contact Facebook support by filling out this online form. Make sure to include a detailed description of the problem, your contact information, and a screenshot of the error message. If the problem persists after contacting Facebook support, you should expect the response time to be anywhere from a day to 10 business days. You can also use the form labeled &#8220;security checks preventing you from signing in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After you have provided your email address and phone number, you can select the option for phone recovery. You will be sent a code to enter to reset your password. If you have a cell phone, you can choose to use it to call Facebook support. Using the phone, you&#8217;ll be able to reach Facebook support by text message or by phone. You will have to verify your identity before you can continue.<\/p>\n<p>If you have tried following the instructions on screen but your account remains locked, you can contact Facebook support to solve the problem. Make sure to mention that you&#8217;re experiencing difficulties logging in, and provide your email address as well. Also, a form labeled &#8220;Confirm your identity with Facebook&#8221; can be useful. When the error is resolved, you can access the account again. But before you do so, make sure to save the information you&#8217;ve submitted in the form.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pKZpcoGNnMc\" width=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Contact Facebook When My Account is Locked?
