How to change your name on VK via phone - the official way
Social networks have been a part of people’s lives for a long time. Many people cannot imagine their pastime without personal pages on their favorite networks, which include VKontakte. This service is very convenient, here you can chat with friends, listen to music, play, watch videos, take part in various online competitions or marathons. It is quite normal if the user has a desire to make adjustments to his page and change, for example, the name.
The administration of the social network takes changing personal data quite seriously. Each incoming application undergoes strict processing by a moderator. In addition, the VK user agreement includes the condition that the user’s personal page must contain reliable data.
Applications are approved in exceptional cases:
- the user initially made a mistake during registration;
- there has been a change in the passport;
- changing a surname is associated with marriage.
There may be other cases when the application is approved without problems. But all of them are exceptional and are considered on an individual basis.
The procedure for the official way to change the name on VKontakte is quite simple. The user will need:
- go to your own profile;
- In the upper right corner, click on the photo and select the “Edit” menu item;
- the “Basic” section opens on the page, where current user data is indicated;
- In the “First Name-Last Name” fields, you need to enter new information and click “save”.
The application for a name change will be submitted to the service administration for consideration.
A name change does not always happen quickly. New data provided may be automatically rejected.
If the application is rejected
If the submitted application was rejected, you must contact the site administration directly and provide evidence that the specified name is not a fictitious name.
How to do it correctly:
- take a scan or high-quality photograph of your passport/birth certificate or other identity document;
- go to your page, go to the “more” section, located in the lower left corner;
- select the “About VKontakte” item from the menu;
- on the new page, go to the very end, to the “help” section (VKontakte support”);
- In the search bar, enter the essence of the problem, for example, the phrase “I can’t change my name”;
The search result will show the most frequently asked questions. If the user does not find a suitable option among them, you can clarify and ask another question of interest.
A special form will appear on the page to fill out; you should attach a scanned version or photo of your passport to it, proving the authenticity of the new name.
In order to attach a photo, you should click on the button in the form of a camera located under the contact field. After uploading the documents, click on the “Submit” button. Contacting support takes about 7 days; if the service is overloaded, the period may be extended.
Important! If a user often enough sends a request to change the name in his account, the VKontakte administration has the right to block him for an indefinite time.
Setting up the “life position” menu item on VKontakte.
Everything here is simple in terms of control, you move the cursor to the desired line and select from the list...
The process of choosing the right options is not so simple, for example in the “Polit. preferences” you can choose those that you adhere to in life, but if you are not particularly interested in politics, it would be correct to select “moderate” or leave the “not selected” line blank.
Likewise, if you have doubts about the correctness of your choice, it is better to leave the field empty.
After filling out the settings page, click the “Save” button.
