:identification_card: One Name on Facebook — No Surname, No Hack, Just Geography

Facebook lets Indonesians use a single name. You’re about to borrow that privilege for 10 minutes.

⚡ How It Works (Full Steps)

Why Indonesia? Most Indonesians don’t use family names — it’s cultural. Facebook respects this and drops the surname requirement for users connecting from Indonesia. You’re just… temporarily relocating.

The Method

  1. Connect your VPN to Indonesia — any free or paid VPN with Indonesian servers works.
  2. Log into Facebook (browser or app — both work).
  3. Go to Settings & Privacy → Account Centre → Profiles → Name.
  4. Change your language to Bahasa Indonesia (Settings → Language).
  5. Delete your last name — replace it with a single space (just tap the spacebar once, don’t leave it completely empty).
  6. Save changes, enter your password, confirm.
  7. Disconnect the VPN immediately after saving — the single name sticks without it.

That’s it. Your profile now shows one name.

⚠️ What You Should Know
Detail Reality
Works on new accounts? :white_check_mark: Yes
Works on old accounts? :white_check_mark: Yes — not limited to new accounts despite what some claim
Name change cooldown 60 days — you can’t change your name again until then
Can Facebook revert it? Possible if flagged, but rare for real first names
Language change required? Yes — switch to Bahasa Indonesia before editing
Last name field Put a single space — not empty, not a dot, not a dash
VPN needed after? No — disconnect right after saving

Heads up: Don’t use a fake or offensive name. Facebook may ask for ID verification if your profile gets flagged. Using your actual first name keeps you safe.

One VPN toggle. One spacebar press. Zero surnames.
