No access to your Facebook email or phone in France or Germany?
Changed provider, moved, or lost an old work address. The recovery screen and matching ID are the main route.
Use facebook.com/login/identify, pick the account and choose that you no longer have access to the email or phone. Facebook may then ask for a new contact and ID, such as a passport, national ID card or driving licence. If a hacker changed the details, start at facebook.com/hacked instead. Under GDPR you can ask Meta what contact data it holds.
ID
Passport, national ID or licence.
Hacked
facebook.com/hacked first.
Steps
- Check every device for a live Facebook or Messenger login.
- Use facebook.com/login/identify and search with an old email or number.
- Choose the no-access option and give a contact you can reach.
- Upload one clear ID if asked, with the name on the profile.
- Remove old numbers once you are back in and switch two-factor to an authenticator app.
France and Germany notes
Carrier number recycling happens in both countries. Do not rely on SMS to an old number. If fraud is involved, report it to the police and keep the reference. A GDPR access request can clarify what email and phone Meta has on file; it does not by itself restore login.

Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
Local questions, answered (2026)
Lost the email and phone on the account?
Use the “try another way” or “I no longer have access” option on the login screen, which may lead to a video selfie or ID check. Secure any new email before you use it for recovery.
Which ID works for Facebook in France?
Usually a French passport, carte d’identité or titre de séjour, with the same name as the profile. Facebook often asks for a video selfie instead.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can I recover Facebook with only my name?
Facebook needs something to match you: a logged-in device, an old contact or ID.
Does a logged-in device help?
Yes. A phone or browser that is still logged in is the easiest way to add a new email.
Do I need to share my password?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from your public username, the notice and the details you send. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
