How to appeal a disabled Facebook account

Before you start

• Use the phone or computer you normally use for Facebook.
• Turn off any VPN.
• Have a government ID ready that matches the name on the profile.
• Make sure you can receive codes on the phone or email listed.

The appeal, in order

1. Log in. The disabled screen appears instead of your feed.
2. Choose the option to disagree with the decision.
3. Enter the code Facebook sends.
4. Upload ID or record the video selfie when asked.
5. Add a short note if a box appears.
6. Screenshot the confirmation.

What to write

Three sentences at most. Who you are, that you believe the decision is a mistake, and any honest context: a recent hack, a new phone, travel, a new admin on a Page you manage.

If there is no appeal option

Some notices say the decision is final. Read after a refused appeal for what remains.

Official route

Reference notes for this notice follow.

1. Log in on a device you have used before and read the notice in full; it says whether you can appeal and how long you have.
2. If you were hacked or cannot log in, start at facebook.com/hacked, even if you are not sure it was a hack.
3. If you no longer have the email or phone, use the 'Find your account' page with any older email or number you once used.
4. On a two-factor screen, choose 'Need another way to authenticate?' (or 'Having trouble?' on Android) to reach the identity options.
5. Check Settings, then Account status, for restrictions on posting, messaging or Marketplace.

Evidence to collect

• Screenshots of the notices and any emails from Facebook.
• The profile link or username.
• A clear photo of a government ID that matches the profile name.
• Every email address and phone number ever used on the account.
• For Pages: proof that you run the business.

Wording that works

• Do not include links or attachments the form does not ask for.
• If the name on the profile differs from your ID, say why (a nickname, a married name, a transliteration).
• State the facts in two or three sentences: the profile is yours, what happened, and what you have changed.

Avoid these

• Calling phone numbers that claim to be Facebook support; Meta has no general public support line.
• Creating a second profile while the first is disabled.
• Relying on trusted contacts; Facebook says that feature is no longer supported.
• Using a VPN or a new phone for the recovery.

What happens next

• Watch the email or phone on the account and the Support Inbox.
• Once back in, review Where you're logged in and turn on two-factor with an app.
• Check that your Pages and ad accounts still list you as admin.
• Expect an ID or video selfie step; complete it the first time it appears.

If the route is closed

• The ID step keeps rejecting your document.
• A Page or ad account was taken along with the profile.
• The notice says the decision is final.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
