You can confirm your identity in 1 of 3 ways. When submitting documentation, please cover up any personal information we don't need to verify your identity (ex: credit card number, Social Security number). We encrypt people’s connections to Facebook by default, including IDs you send to us. We delete your ID information after verification is complete.
Option 1: Government ID
One government-issued ID that contains your name and date of birth or your name and photo. Examples include:
- Passport
- Voter ID card
- Driver’s license
- Birth certificate
- Marriage certificate
- Official name change paperwork
- Tribal identification or status card
- Personal or vehicle insurance card
- Green card, residence permit or immigration papers
- Non-driver's government ID (ex: disability, SNAP card, national ID card)
Option 2: Two Non-Government Options
Two different forms of ID from the following list. The names on your IDs must match each other. One of the IDs must include a photo or date of birth that matches the information on your profile so we can confirm that you're the owner of the account.
Choose from:
- Mail
- Check
- Permit
- Transit card
- Utility bill
- Credit card
- School ID card
- Library card
- Paycheck stub
- School record
- Medical record
- Bank statement
- Social Security card
- Employment verification
- Magazine subscription stub
- Yearbook photo (actual scan or photograph of the page in your yearbook)
- Membership ID (ex: pension card, union membership, work ID, professional ID)
Option 3: Another Way to Confirm
If you don’t have an ID that shows both your authentic name and a photo or date of birth, you can provide an additional ID to help us match you to your Facebook profile. For this option, upload three IDs:
- Two different forms of ID from Option 2 that both show your authentic name.
- One additional ID that includes a date of birth or photo that matches the information on your Facebook profile. This ID can be from either Option 1 or 2 above, and the name on it doesn't have to match the other two IDs you submit. We won't add the name or other information from this ID to your account.
