For some time now, Facebook, to avoid the presence of accounts with fake names or personal exchanges, has asked some users to verify their account with an identity card . In recent days there have been many reports of profiles and accounts blocked for reasons of recognition of authenticity which is rather unpleasant for those who just want to exchange a few messages with friends.
In addition, as happens exactly in the case of a banned Facebook account, the profile disappears as if it had been deleted, so as to refer to a non-existent page.
Fortunately, the suspension is only temporary and linked to the increasingly stringent policies of Facebook which wants accounts to be verified in case of doubt, that they are profiles of authentic people, whether they are famous people or common names.

The criterion used by Facebook and the reasons for making these requests is certainly not accidental, but neither is it well understood.
So by eye, looking for the various cases, it would seem that the accounts whose verification is required are above all those with a famous or common name and with many friends.
It is also likely that these suspected accounts were also reported as fake by someone.
In addition, another factor that seems common is that the suspension of the account for security reasons occurs to people who use Facebook while traveling, connecting from different cities.
Whatever the reason, the way to prevent it from happening is by using your real name and surname and checking your profile via mobile number .
Those who verify their mobile phone should not receive this suspension notice and will not be forced to send their identity card to Facebook.
To verify the mobile number, you must write it on this page and then confirm it with the code you receive via SMS (it's free)
The mobile number can then be kept private in the profile information, visible only to us.
Facebook doesn't use this number to send advertising so you can rest assured.
As seen then, in this way you can also enable the reception of Facebook messages as free SMS which is not bad, especially for those who do not use the smartphone.
Returning to the case of an identity card application, all that remains is to be patient and send a document that can be anything.
If you do not have an identity card, you can send your passport or driving license, health card, ballot paper and any other document (including unofficial) that contains your name, date of birth and photo.
You can also send, for example, the bus pass, work badges, medical tests, a utility bill or a library card.
If you send a particular document, all information except name and date of birth can be obscured.
The document can be photographed or scanned.
Facebook also clarifies, in the support page, that any document sent to verify the authenticity of the profile will be deleted immediately and will not be kept.
If you don't send anything and wait a few days, Facebook could still unlock your profile and make it usable again.
In any case, when you get your account back, change your password and add your mobile number verification in case it happens again.
If you have had your profile suspended from Facebook for some reason, please let us know.
