Claiming Ownership of a Facebook Page

There are 3 main ways to claim a Facebook Page:

1. Claim an Auto-Generated (Unmanaged) Page

👉 This happens when Facebook automatically creates a page for your business (for example, from people’s check-ins).

1. Go to the page on Facebook.

2. Under the cover photo, click “Is this your business?”

3. Follow the instructions — Facebook may ask you to verify with:

   • Business phone number

   • Business email

   • Business documents (license, bills, etc.)

4. Once verified, you’ll become the page admin .
    

2. If the Page Already Has an Admin

👉 This is when someone else (like an employee, agency, or ex-staff) already manages the page.

• Go to the page on Facebook.

• Under the cover photo, click “Is this your business?”

• Follow the instructions — Facebook may ask you to verify with:

1. Business phone number

2. Business email

3. Business documents (license, bills, etc.)

4. Once verified, you’ll become the page admin.
    

3. If You Lost Access to Your Own Page

👉  If you created the page before but no longer see yourself as an admin:

• Go to the page and check Page Settings → Page Roles to see if you still have any role.

• If you’re not listed, click Find Support or Report Page on the page.

• Select Something else → I lost access to this Page.

• Provide proof to Facebook if requested, such as:

  • Business license or registration

  • Utility bill with your business name

  • Official business email/domain

• Wait for Facebook to review. If approved, they’ll restore your admin access.
  
  
  With these 3 methods, you can claim or recover your Facebook Page and take full control of your online presence.
