Facebook Full Name Search

Trying to verify someone who says they're on Facebook? Here's how a full name search specifically applies here.

Facebook supports finding a profile by name directly, which makes this a reasonable starting point.

Facebook allows searching by name, and profile and cover photos are usually public even when other posts are restricted.

• Works best when paired with a city, age, or other identifying detail
• Common names return many unrelated results without extra context
• Useful for cross-checking a name someone has already told you against public records
• Cannot confirm a name is genuine if the person has only ever given you a first name
