Change your Facebook Page name (even with more than 200 Likes)

Up until now, if you wanted to change the name of your Facebook Page and you have more than 200 Likes it could be very difficult. In fact, Facebook Help states “You can’t currently change the name of a Page with 200 or more likes.”
The good news is that you can now put in a request to Facebook via the Admin Panel and if permission is granted, you can change the name of your Page no matter how many Likes you have.
The process for changing your Facebook Page name is as follows:

1. Go to your Admin Panel
2. Select Edit Page then Update Public Info
3. In the Basic Info section go to Name about half way down the Page
4. If less than 200 Likes change Edit the name in the Name field
5. If more than 200 Likes select the Request Change link
6. Check the ‘I understand the formatting guidelines for my Page’s new name’ box
7. Select the appropriate option under ‘Your Page name currently represents’
8. Check the ‘I would still like to change my Page name. I have documentation to demonstrate this change’ box
9. Enter ‘Your Desired Page Name’
10. Enter the reason for the name change from the drop down
11. Upload appropriate documentation such as a utility bill or phone bill.
