What types of ID does Facebook accept?
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.
