Losing access to your Facebook Page can be incredibly stressful, especially if it’s a key part of your digital marketing and booking process. As a tour operator, maintaining control over your social presence ensures smooth communication with customers, promotions, and more. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for businesses to lose access due to a former employee, misplaced credentials, or an inaccessible Business Manager account.

Here’s a straightforward guide to help you regain access to your Facebook Page.

Step 1: Prepare Your Documents

Before initiating a Facebook Page Admin Dispute, you’ll need to gather three essential documents:

1. Proof of Identification: A state-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.) that clearly shows your name.
   
   
2. Official Business Document: This could be an LLC certificate, a business license, or any other document proving you’re associated with the business.
   
   
3. Admin Dispute Letter: You’ll need to provide a formal request explaining why you need admin access. See our template below for what to include.

Step 2: Initiate the Admin Dispute

1. Log into Your Personal Facebook Account.
   Make sure you’re using your primary Facebook account.

2. Visit Facebook Support.
   Go to facebook.com/business/help/support.

3. Scroll to the Bottom and Click "Contact Support."
   From there, you’ll be asked to select the issue you’re facing. Choose the option that most closely matches “Page Access” or a similar description.

4. Select Your Page and Complete the Required Fields.
   Be as detailed as possible when filling out the form, using the information you’ve prepared.

5. Start a Chat Session with Support.
   Once the fields are completed, you should be taken to a page to start a live chat session with a Meta representative. Click to initiate the chat.

6. State That You’d Like to Submit an Admin Page Dispute.
   Explain your issue and be prepared for the representative to ask you a few questions. You may be asked to clarify your relationship to the page and provide specific information about your business.

7. Upload Your Documentation.
   The support team will request the three documents listed earlier. Upload them directly in the chat for review.

Step 3: What to Expect Next

Once you’ve submitted all required information, Facebook should create a case for your dispute. Typically, you can expect a response or resolution within 24 to 48 hours. Be sure to keep track of any case numbers or communication from Facebook to ensure smooth follow-up if needed.

Admin Dispute Letter Template

To make things easier, here’s a sample letter you can use when submitting your request:

[INSERT LETTERHEAD]

To whom it may concern,

My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am the [YOUR TITLE] of [YOUR BUSINESS NAME] located at [BUSINESS ADDRESS]. I am writing to request the Meta Support Team grant me admin access to the Facebook Page [PAGE TITLE].

We currently do not have access to the Facebook business page or business manager, as it was managed by an admin who is no longer with the organization and we do not know the email address of the individual who previously managed the business manager account. We currently do not have admin access to the page or business manager account. As a result, we need to add a new admin in order to access the page, ad account(s), pixel(s), and other associated assets.

I would like to request having the admin account recovered and to please add me, [YOUR NAME], as an admin to the business manager account referenced above.

• My profile URL is [YOUR PERSONAL FACEBOOK URL]
• My login email address is [YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS USED TO LOG INTO FACEBOOK]
• My Facebook Page URL is [FACEBOOK PAGE URL]

I have included a copy of my business card to provide confirmation of my employment with the organization, a copy of [OFFICIAL BUSINESS DOCUMENT], as well as a copy of my state-issued identification.

I, [YOUR NAME], declare under penalty of perjury that the information that I have provided is true and accurate.

Signed,

[YOUR NAME]
[YOUR TITLE]
