How To Register For A Unique Facebook Page Username

Setting a unique username for your Facebook page makes it easier for people to find you or your business from the Internet. You get a long generic Facebook URL by default, like http://facebook.com/pages/pagename/01234567, but you can change this to something shorter like facebook.com/pagename – looks more professional and easier to remember, right?

1. View your Facebook page.
2. Click the Edit Page from the top of your Page.



3. Click on Update Info.



4. From the Page Address section, click on Change web address?



5. Enter your preferred username containing alphanumeric characters only (A-Z, 0-9) or a period (“.”). Just keep in mind that the usernames must be at least 5 characters long and can’t contain generic terms. Then click the Check Availability box.



6. Once the desired username is available, click Confirm to save the new username.

Things You Need to Know:

1. You cannot claim somebody else’s username as your own.
2. These usernames are also not transferable or easily changed since they can be changed only once.
3. Your chosen username must have to abide by the Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
4. Facebook policy requires at least 25 Likes or more to get your username registered.
