Did Facebook disable your account for no reason? If you didn't violate Facebook's community policies, you can easily submit an appeal to recover your disabled account. Once you provide your name, ID, and an explanation through the form, Facebook will decide whether to restore your account. We'll show you how to ask Facebook to review and reactivate your account, and how you can restore an account that you deactivated yourself.

Things You Should Know

• If you see "Your account has been disabled" when signing in to Facebook, you can submit an appeal at https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907.
• To recover your account, you'll need to upload a photo ID to the form, such as a driver's license or government ID.
• If you disabled your own account, just log back in to Facebook to recover it.

1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/260749603972907. This is Facebook's official appeal form for disabled personal accounts. If you believe your account was disabled in error, you can use this form to ask that they investigate the issue.
   • Depending on why your account was disabled, you may be able to appeal as soon as you sign in. The process should be the same.
2. Use the email address or phone number associated with the account that Facebook deactivated.
   • You will need to have access to this account or phone number, as Facebook will use it to communicate with you.
3. The name you type into the "Your full name" field should match the name that's listed on your Facebook account.
   • If Facebook canceled your account because you weren't using your real name, you'll have a chance to explain your situation in a moment.
4. This can be a driver's license, birth certificate, learner's permit, immigration card, tribal identification or status card, official name change paperwork, passport, or other government ID. To do so:
   • Take a picture of your ID. If the document is not blank on one side, take photos of both the front and the back.
   • Transfer the photo(s) to your computer.
   • Click Choose Files.
   • Select the pictures to upload.
   • Click Open.
5. In the "Additional info" field near the bottom of the page, enter any extra information you think Facebook should know. Be polite, and make sure Facebook understands that you plan to correct or change the offending behavior.
   • If your legal name is different than your Facebook name, tell Facebook why. For example, if you're in the process of a name change, make that clear.
   • If someone other than you used your account to violate Facebook's policies, explain the situation thoroughly. Consider uploading a screenshot with proof to a free site like Imgur, and then include a link to the screenshot in your message.
   • If you did violate Facebook's standards but want another chance on the platform, it never hurts to apologize.
6. It's on the bottom-right side of the form. This sends your appeal to Facebook for review. If they decide to revoke the deactivation, they will send you a message letting you know when your account is available.
7. If Facebook needs more information to make their final decision on your account, they'll let you know via email or text message. You'll have 30 days from the time you receive the email from Facebook to provide the requested documentation. If you miss the 30-day deadline, your account will be permanently disabled.

1. If you deleted your account and it's been fewer than 30 days since doing so, this reactivates your account.

How long does it take for a Facebook account to be reviewed?

A member of Facebook's support team will review your report, usually within 48 hours, and determine whether it violates Facebook Community Standards and if it should be removed or not.

Why does Facebook take so long to review?

This process can take up to 24 hours, but there are some factors that can cause delays. Common reasons for Facebook's ad review delays include ad content violations, sensitive topics, image and text alignment, landing page discrepancies, and editing an ad while it is under review.

Why is Facebook reviewing my account?

Either they suspect that you're a spammer because of the things you've posted or getting some reports from other users. Or you violated Community Standards in some way with one or more of your posts or comments and they have put your account into review to have someone manually review it and confirm the violation.
