Get your Instagram username back after deleting your account

Updated 13 November 2026

Deleting can free the handle for anyone.

Instagram gives you 30 days to cancel a deletion by logging in. After that the username can be taken. If someone took it, a claim may work when it matches your brand or they impersonate you.

How it works with Unbanz

Send the handle you want and your Instagram profile link on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
We tell you straight whether there is a legit route: an inactive account, a trademark or brand report, an impersonation report or Instagram’s own processes.
If there is, you get it confirmed in the chat: a flat $1,200 per handle. You pay upfront by card through a secure checkout link we send you.
We prepare and file everything through Instagram’s own tools and keep you posted. Instagram makes the final call, so we can’t promise timing or an outcome. If the claim fails, our refund policy gives you 100% back.

Staying safe

We never ask for passwords or codes. We don’t hack accounts, buy stolen handles or file false reports. If someone asks you to log in through their link or wants to sell you an account, walk away.

QUICK ANSWERS

Good to know.

How much does a Instagram username claim cost?

It’s a flat $1,200 per handle, confirmed in the chat before anything starts. You pay upfront by card through a secure checkout link we send you. Nothing is charged for asking whether a handle is doable.

What if the claim fails?

Our refund policy gives a 100% refund if the case fails; for a username claim, that means the handle is not claimed onto your profile. See refund policy.

Do you need my password or login codes?

No. We never ask for passwords or codes. We work from the handle you want and your profile link.
