Match the registered name
The CRO or business name entry should show the word in the handle you want.

Want an Instagram username in Ireland?
An Irish trading name and the Instagram handle you want are not always the same. Here is how that plays out.
In Ireland, a trading name can differ from the registered company name, and a third party may hold the matching handle. A CRO entry or a business name registration shows the name and its start date, and an EU trademark covers the whole union. Send them with the holder’s profile and we say if a claim is realistic.
An EU mark covers Ireland
It supports a brand report more than a trading name alone.
Check the holder
An empty account and a copycat are handled differently.
What the Irish records show
- A CRO company or business name entry with the date.
- An EUIPO or Irish trademark, if filed.
- A website or invoices carrying the name.
- Whether the holder sells under your name.
Every claim goes through the platform’s own processes. No bots, no false reports, no buying or selling accounts.
Sending your details
- The handle you want and the one you run today.
- Your CRO entry or business name registration.
- A screenshot of the holder’s profile.
- A short line on why the name is yours.
What to send
- The exact @username you want.
- Your current Instagram profile, so the handle can go onto it.
- Why the name is yours: brand, business name, registered trademark, or the name you used before.
- What you have already tried, if anything.
Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.

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.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Do you only work with Irish clients?
No. Unbanz works with clients worldwide, and you can write in English.
Is a CRO entry enough?
It supports a claim but is not decisive on its own.
What if the holder is a UK business?
An active business with its own claim to the word usually keeps the handle.
What if the username claim does not work?
If a username claim fails, you get a full 100% refund. A claim fails when the username is not successfully claimed onto your profile. Details are on the refund policy page.
Do I need to share my Instagram 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 about an Instagram username claim?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send your username and a screenshot of the notice, if there is one.
