How To Change Your Name On Facebook Page

How can I change the name of my Facebook page?

The names of Facebook pages should accurately reflect the subject of the Page. It would help if you were an administrator to request a change in the name of your Page. Changing the name of your Page will not affect its user name.

To request a change to the name of your Page:

1. Check out Facebook page title standards
2. Click About the program on the left side of your Page
3. In the General and Name section, click Edit
4. Enter a new page name and click Continue
5. Review your request and click Request a Change

If you don’t see an option to change the name of your Page:

1. You don’t have a Page role that allows you to change the name of your Page. Learn how to view your role on the Page.
2. You or another administrator recently changed the name of your Page.
3. There may be restrictions on your Page.

If you can submit a name change request, please keep in mind that it may take up to 3 days to review your request, and we may need additional information before you receive a final decision. If your name change is approved, you will not be able to cancel the publication of the Page or change the name again within 7 days.

During these 7 days, we can also inform people who like your Page that the name has been updated.
