# How to request a Facebook Page name change

By HeyMark · Updated October 26, 2026

If you manage a Page and need to update the name people see, you can submit a request on Facebook from a computer. I’ll walk you through the form and what to check if the option is missing; the Page username and web address are separate settings.

## Before you start

Log into Facebook on a computer and make sure you have **Facebook access** to the Page. **Task access** alone does not let you request this change. [Read Facebook’s help about changing a Page name](https://www.facebook.com/help/271607792873806?locale=en_US&cms_platform=www).

Choose a simple, specific name that reflects the Page’s purpose, and review Meta’s [Page name guidelines](https://www.facebook.com/help/519912414718764/?locale=en_US). Meta restricts, among other things, abusive or rights-violating language, unauthorized use of “official,” improper capitalization, unnecessary symbols or punctuation, descriptions or slogans, and names consisting only of one general word or a general geographic location. The rules allow Pages for organizations that represent a geographic location; check the full guidelines for your case.

## Request a Page name change

1. Click your profile photo in the top right, then choose **See all profiles**.
2. Select the Page you want to switch to.
3. Click your Page photo in the top right. Open **Settings & privacy**, then **Settings**.
4. Go to **Page setup** and click **Name**.
5. Under **General Page Settings**, click **Edit** next to the Page name.
6. Enter the proposed name and select **Review Change**.
7. Review the request, enter your Facebook password when prompted, and choose **Request Change**.

You have now submitted a change request; the new name is subject to Facebook’s review. Changing the display name also does not change the Page username or web address. If you meant the @ or link, follow [the steps to change your Page username](https://heymark.ai/en/solutions/change-facebook-page-username/).

## If “Edit” is missing

Meta says the option may be unavailable if you don’t have a Page role or access that allows the change, if someone with Facebook access changed the name recently, if limits apply to the Page, or if it is a regional Page under a global Page. Check your access and the Page’s notices before trying again.

If you manage duplicate Pages for the same entity and want to consolidate them, review [Facebook Page merge requirements and what you will lose](https://heymark.ai/en/solutions/merge-facebook-pages/) before requesting it.
