What a good username claim service looks like
- The handle goes on your own profile. No buying someone else’s login, no account swaps.
- Your password stays with you. All it takes is the handle you want and your own @.
- An honest check first. You hear if it’s doable before you pay anything.
- A clear price upfront. No surprise extras halfway through.
- Real people behind it. Hear from clients, including an agency owner who uses Unbanz for username claims.
- A real guarantee. Ours: Guaranteed. If we take it on, we get it done.
Red flags to skip
- They ask for your password or login codes.
- They want to hand you the login to someone else’s account.
- Countdown pressure or “last chance” deals.
- No website, email or way to reach a real person.

Inactive or taken?
An inactive handle sits on an account nobody uses. A taken handle is in active use. We handle both, and tell you which one yours is.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Instagram suggests trying a variation with a period, underscore or number. You can also message the owner, or report the account if it uses your registered trademark. If none of that works, send us the handle. Our taken username guide walks through the free routes.
Facebook and Snapchat too
Same idea for Facebook usernames and Snapchat usernames. All options on our Instagram username claims page.
