Just wondering if any of you have had this situation-- Friday evening, all of a sudden, I couldn't access Facebook. They said they wanted proof of my ID. Saturday, my DH was able to send them proof (passport with some information crossed out). As of this morning, I still can't get on Facebook, which also prevents me from some other on-line activities. They keep saying they'll permit me back on after verifying my identity, but it hasn't happened yet. If this has happened to any of you, how long did it take before you could access Facebook again?

AM I assume you went straight to FB and they gave you the info to provide directly to them. If not you may have bigger issues than facebook.

Our company can take up to 72 hours to verify ownership and FB has a huge audience so I would expect that at a minimum. You can always check with them on their expected turn around time.

Usually what triggers it is either an old friend reporting that they do not know you, or that you have information that seems off a little bit. In my case, I went by a different last name than my real name in order to hide myse...See More

What happened to me... I was once locked out of Facebook for a reason I still don't know. I was instructed to enter my password, then change my password, and I had to identify 10 of my Facebook friends from the profile photos that were generated. Some people use cartoons, flowers, etc so I couldn't identify all 10 so they texted me a code that I could enter and then I wa...See More
