Quick summary: the old “200 likes” rule people used to mention isn’t the blocker anymore — Facebook now lets someone with the right Page access request a name change from the Page settings, but changes are reviewed and can be blocked for other reasons. (facebook.com)

If you can’t find the old “Basic Info” area mentioned by , that’s because Facebook’s Page interfaces have been reorganized (Classic vs New Pages experience) and the controls moved into the Page settings / Page access area. Only people with full Facebook access (or equivalent admin/full-control roles) can request a name change; if your role is “task access” or lower you won’t see the option. Check Page access / roles first before trying anything else. (facebook.com)

Practical workarounds: ’s suggestion to create a new Page and point people there still works when rename is impossible. If you control both Pages and they meet Meta’s eligibility rules, you can also request a merge to combine followers (note: merges move followers and check‑ins but remove content from the merged Page and have strict requirements like matching names/addresses/business ownership). Use merge only after you confirm eligibility. (facebook.com)

If you only need a cleaner URL, Page username (vanity web address) is changed separately from the Page name. Always review Meta’s Page name guidelines before requesting a change — drastic changes, trademark or misleading names, and certain Page types (regional/global, verified, or restricted Pages) can be denied. If the UI still hides the option, check Page Transparency for past name/merge history and gather official docs (business license, utility bill) if you’ll be asked to verify the change. (facebook.com)

If further troubleshooting is needed, follow the Help Center articles above for the current UI for your Page (steps vary between Classic and the New Pages experience).

ehm ... create a new page, refer to that page on the existing one, and announce you won't be updating the old page.

It is too difficult to change your facebook page name after 200 likes. So this session wanna helps you to change your facebook page name. You can put a request to facebook through the admin panel. If your request is granted then you can change the name of your facebook page. Just follow the below steps:

  1. Go to "Admin Panel".
  2. Then select "Edit Page" then "Update public info".
  3. Go to "Basic Info" Section and go to Name about.
  4. select the Request Change link.
  5. Check the ‘I understand the formatting guidelines for my Page’s new name’ box.
  6. Select the appropriate option under ‘Your Page name currently represents’
    Check the ‘I would still like to change my Page name. I have documentation to demonstrate this change’ box.
  7. Now enter ‘Your Desired Page Name’.
  8. Plese choose the reason from the drop down list, why you want to change your page name.
  9. Upload your appropriate documentation such as a utility bill or phone bill.
