 Don't Have an Account?

How do I report something on Facebook if I don't have an account or can't see it?

If you want to report something that goes against our Community Standards but you don't have an account or can't see the content (example: someone blocked you), you may need to ask a friend to help you.

Ask a friend with an account to report the content using the Find Support or Report link near the post, photo or comment on Facebook. Keep in mind that we won't be able to take action on your report until we can find the content you're reporting. In your report, please provide us with as much detail as possible, including links and screenshots of the content you're reporting.

How do I report a Facebook account or Page that’s pretending to be me or someone else?

Accounts and Pages that impersonate other people go against our Community Standards and aren't allowed on Facebook. If you see an account that's pretending to be you, someone you know or a public figure (example: celebrity, politician), we encourage you to let us know. You can report potentially impersonating accounts to us even if you don't have a Facebook account.

To report someone who's pretending to be you or someone else, first determine if you're reporting a profile or a Page.

How to report a profile or Page

If you have a Facebook account and want to report a profile or Page:

  1. Go to the profile or Page of the impersonating account.
    • If you can't find it, try searching for the name used on the profile or Page or asking your friends if they can send you a link to it.
  2. Click  below the cover photo.
  3. If you're reporting a Page, select Find Support or Report Page. If you're reporting a profile, select Find Support or Report Profile.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions for impersonation to file a report.

You can report an impersonating Facebook account by filling out a form.

Note: You can also report impersonating accounts in Messenger. Learn how to report someone that's pretending to be you or someone else in Messenger.
