Verifying your identity on Facebook is often required if your account has been compromised, locked, or if Facebook needs to confirm that you're the rightful owner of the account. To verify your identity, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Facebook's Identity Verification Page

Access Facebook's Help Center: Visit the Facebook Help Center - Identity Verification page.
Follow the prompts: If you’re asked to verify your identity (due to suspicious activity or a security issue), you’ll be prompted to upload a valid identification document.

Step 2: Choose Your Verification Method

Depending on your situation, Facebook may ask you to verify your identity using one of the following methods:
Option 1: Submit a Photo ID

Prepare a Photo ID: Facebook may require you to upload a clear photo of an official ID, such as:
Passport
Driver’s license
National identity card
Other government-issued identification
Upload the ID: After selecting your ID type, take a clear photo or scan of the ID and upload it to the verification page. Make sure the image is legible, and the document is not expired.
Wait for Verification: Facebook will review the submitted document and process it. This may take a few days, and Facebook will notify you once the process is complete.

Option 2: Provide a Selfie (if prompted)

Sometimes, Facebook will ask you to take a selfie to ensure that the person submitting the ID is the same as the one on the ID:

Follow Facebook’s instructions: If requested, Facebook may guide you to take a selfie that matches the photo on your ID.
Submit the selfie: Ensure that the photo is clear and well-lit, showing your face clearly.

Step 3: Verify Information for Account Recovery (if applicable)

If you are verifying your identity due to a locked or hacked account:

Enter the required information: You may be asked to confirm your name, email address, or phone number linked to the account.
Provide additional details: Facebook may ask you to answer questions about recent activity on your account to ensure it's really you.

Step 4: Wait for Facebook’s Response

Processing time: Facebook usually processes identity verification within 1-3 business days. The exact timeframe may vary.
Notification: Once your identity has been verified, Facebook will send a notification or an email confirming the verification and letting you know if there are any next steps.

Step 5: Check Your Account Status

Check your email or notifications: Facebook will notify you via email or in-app notifications about the outcome of your verification.
Regain Access: If your account was locked or restricted, you should be able to access it again once the verification is complete.
