# 🪪 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? | ✅ Yes |
> | Works on old accounts? | ✅ 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.
