When a Facebook account is locked or flagged for identity verification, users are often asked to upload a government-issued ID. Providing a valid and clear ID helps speed up the verification process and increases the chances of restoring account access. Below are the essential elements your ID should contain for Facebook to accept it:

1. Full Name

The name on your ID should match or closely resemble the name on your Facebook account. A name that's too different may lead to a failed verification.

2. Clear Portrait Photo

Portrait photos can be used here. Choose Male Female photos that match the account's gender. https://this-person-does-not-exist.com/en (Replace your profile picture with the one you get here.)

Facebook uses the photo on your ID to compare with your profile photo or other images from your account. To ensure this step is successful, the photo must be:

  • Clear and high-quality, not blurry or obscured.

  • Well-lit and free of glare or reflections.

3. Date of Birth

If your Facebook account includes your date of birth, it should match the date of birth on your ID. This is an important detail for identity confirmation.

4. Issue or Expiration Date (if applicable)

Some forms of ID include an issue or expiration date. Facebook may check this to verify that the ID is still valid and not expired.

5. Accepted Forms of ID

Facebook accepts a variety of identification documents, including:

  • National ID card

  • Passport

  • Driver’s license

  • Residence permit

  • Some school or university IDs with a photo and personal details
