How to Change Your Name on Facebook
Changing Your Name After Marriage
After marriage, you can take your spouse's last name without applying for a court order. Most organizations in the U.S. will accept a completed marriage license as legal proof of the name change. This is the case even if the marriage license lists your old name on it.
In most cases, you must file a petition with your local court to change your name. To do so, you may need to file paperwork and appear before a judge to complete the process. Find your local government website and contact your circuit court to get information about how you can legally change your name.
Changing your name or adding additional names
You can also change your name or add additional names (ex: nickname, maiden name) to your profile. Keep in mind that you can't change your name more than once in 60 days.
If you don't see the option to edit your Page's name
You or someone else with Facebook access recently changed your Page's name. There may be limits on your Page. You can't change the name of a regional Page if it falls under a global Page.
Edit or delete another name
To update your name, you'll need to open Control Panel.
Documents Required for Name Change
You can legally change your name by filing papers in court. If a judge agrees, they will give you a court order that states your new legal name. You need this order to change your name on identity documents, like your driver's license, passport, or social security card.
If you're 16 or over, you can make a deed poll yourself and start using a new name (called an 'unenrolled deed poll'). If you're 18 or over, you can apply to put your name change on public record through the High Court (called an 'enrolled deed poll').
