How to recover my Facebook account without an ID? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,  For the past few weeks, my Facebook account has been disabled. I have been sending emails every day, and finally, I received a response yesterday stating that my fake name was problematic. I was instructed to reply to the email specifying my real last name. However, just a few minutes ago, I received an email asking me to send a scan of my ID. They guarantee that after verification, they will destroy the scan. Of course, I won't do that; I find it very... dangerous, and I'm honestly surprised.  Has this happened to you? Did you send a scan of your ID? Is there any other way I could recover my account?  Thanks in advance.

Facebook sometimes requests identification to confirm that the account you are trying to access truly belongs to you. This happens, for example, if people have reported the account as being impersonated.  The entire process can be fairly quick if you do it correctly from the start.  See here how to do it and which identification documents are required: https://www.commentcamarche.net/applis-sites/reseaux-sociaux/25219-facebook-demande-une-piece-d-identite/

Hi,  They can indeed ask for proof for fake account names or other reasons, in this case an ID card... Otherwise, apart from dealing with Facebook to recover your account, there is no other solution.  -- Configuration:  Windows Seven, Intel Core I7, Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1GB dedicated graphics card, 1420GB hard drive, 6GB DDR3 RAM There's no need to have a Tiger in your computer if there's a donkey behind the screen... Or a penguin for Linux users ;)

I sent them a scan of my ID, and all they did was deactivate my account. I can't even find my account on Facebook anymore.

You are the victims of a person who reported you as identity thieves on FB or elsewhere, so FB is questioning the authenticity of your account and is asking you to prove your identity.

Hello, how do we resend a photo of our ID card? ^^ Because my name, etc. was not clear enough, so I had to redo a scan, but it's complicated to resend because it always says pending --' when I try to log in  Thanks

Does anyone have an opinion on this issue from a legal standpoint? I had the same problem, and I would like to know if a site like Facebook has the legal right to ask for our ID card, what does the CNIL say about it... Can a website, just like a police officer, ask us for our ID card?

Me too, they blocked one of my accounts that I had created for gaming just because I put a picture of a presenter as my profile. They asked me for my ID.

Hello everyone! I know I'm a bit late, but I'm experiencing the same problem! Have the people who sent their ID finally regained access to their account, or are they still waiting? Thank you for responding because I really don't know what to do anymore... Thanks

I also have a problem with Facebook. My account has been blocked for a week now. I need to provide a phone number, but the problem is that I don't see the need to give one, especially since I don't own a mobile phone. And if I were to provide any random number, I find that a bit dangerous as well.  To try to unblock my account, I went to 'help' and found a page that would allow me to recover my account, but like you, it asks for an ID photo that I definitely won't provide. So now I don't know what to do; all the proposed help is useless to me, fearing to give confidential information to just anyone.  So to answer your questions, I don't see what solutions I could offer you... I hope you can manage to unblock it, goodbye.

I called the gendarmerie and they told me that normally it shouldn't be a problem unless it's something new. He said that I shouldn't risk anything as long as "support" is mentioned in the email address. I should definitely keep the FB email for "just in case," but normally, nothing will happen. I must absolutely not post photos that aren't of me. That reassured me a bit. I'm not sure if it's better to close FB or not, though.

Anonymale6 · Answer

I know, I regret sending it, I didn't think too much, I admit it. The person I spoke to at the gendarmerie confirmed that normally you shouldn't do it.
But given the response I got from FB afterward, with the email address, he told me that normally I shouldn't have anything to worry about. I don't recommend doing it, you shouldn't do it. I should have thought it through. I just hope nothing happens and that the gendarme is right. At the same time, he's a gendarme, I don't see why he would lie, he would have made me take measures. Apparently, there’s no need to take any. He only told me "just in case" to keep the FB emails. After that, maybe it was me who blocked everything because I wanted to save a link and since I wasn't on my personal computer, I sent myself a DM and that's when it happened.

Anonymale6 · Answer

It means that what they are saying there: https://www.facebook.com/help/582999911881572 is false? And when the policeman says not to worry as well?

Anonymale6 · Answer

Yes, you're not wrong, but with everything I've read, it made me doubt. At the time, with what I read on Facebook, I thought I would do it, but then I regretted it. I didn't think it through enough. I don't know if it will change anything, but the account is deleted.

Gooday. · Answer

So you no longer have an account? I'm still facing the same issue, which is that it's asking for a mobile number...

Anonymale6 · Answer

I went to the gendarmerie to have them check, and it was indeed FB that made the request. It's probably someone with bad intentions who reported my account. But it really disgusted me, so yes, I closed my FB account. When I went there, they told me they hadn't received any complaints about that. I don’t want to influence your choice, but if you give your number, you will receive a security number via SMS to enter on the site afterwards. After that, it's up to you; unfortunately, I was disgusted by it, and I won’t be re-registering.

Meki, they can certainly ask. Even for the excerpt of your grandparents' birth certificates. But the real question is what you can actually concede to them... If your privacy has no value to the point of giving it up to anyone who asks, or if it is worth more than the meanness of these crooks.

Good evening. It's been a week since my account has been blocked by FB because I put a pseudonym instead of my name.. So they are asking for an ID.. I won't send it to them because with everything that's going on, I'm being cautious... FB is not essential to me! But I'm really upset because I've lost lots of photos? What have you done? Has your account been reactivated? Thank you in advance.
