How to Change Your Facebook Page Name 

Let's start.

Step 1: From your News Feed, click Pages in the left menu

After you log into Facebook, the first thing is to find the Pages tab from your News Feed. You will see the Pages tab in the menu bar on the left-hand side of the page.

After clicking on the Pages tab, move on to Step 2.

Step 2: Go to your Page and click Page Settings in the bottom left

When you once arrived at the Pages menu, you will see the different Facebook Pages attached to your account. You'll find that your pages are listed both on the left-hand side of the Pages menu, and in the centre of the page. You will find the Facebook Page you want to change the name and click on it.

After coming to your Facebook Page, navigate down to the “Settings” tab on the bottom left-hand side of the Page. Then click on the Settings tab.

Step 3: Click Page Info in the left column

When you arrived at the Page Settings menu, you will find the “Page Info” tab, which is also placed on the left-hand side of the page. Just click on that.

After clicking on the Page Info tab, jump to Step 4.

Step 4: Click on your Facebook Page name

Now, we have arrived at our main destination, here's you will see how to change your Facebook Page name. 

First, under the “General” section of the Page Info menu, click on your existing page name. 

Then, change your Page name to your desired new Page name.

If you have edited your Page name successfully, then move on to Step 5.

Step 5: Enter a new Page name and click outside the page name box

After entering your new Page name, you have to click somewhere outside the Page name box.

When you click outside, you'll see a pop-up window immediately that mentioned: “Confirm Name Change Request.”

If you see this, just jump over Step 6. 

Step 6: Review your request to change your Facebook Page name and click Request Change

In the pop-up window that arrived in Step 5, you'll see both your Current Page Name along your New Page Name. 

Below this, you will find a note from Facebook that explains what to expect. 

Now, if you find everything good and are comfortable with the note then without any second thought, just go ahead and hit the “Request Change” button. 

And here's your work completed. You have officially requested to change your Facebook Page name. Congrats!!

Wrap Up!!

Note: If the steps mentioned above aren't working anymore then that means that Facebook has updated the interface of the social platform.

When you are performing the Step 6 then you might be noticed the note of what to expect from Facebook after clicking the “Request Change” button. The note mentioned: “Our review may take up to 3 days and require additional information. If your name change is approved, you won’t be able to unpublish the Page or change the name again for 7 days. During this time, we may also let the people who like your Page know the name’s been updated”.

So, don’t assume your Page name to officially be changed for up to 3 days. Also, keep in mind that changing your Page’s name would not affect its username. If you wish to change your Facebook Page username, you can do that from the same menu as the one where you just requested to update your Facebook Page name.
