How to Find Your Facebook Address (Profile URL and Page URL Explained)

Your Facebook address is the unique URL that points to your profile, Page, or group on the platform. It works just like a web address — paste it into any browser and it takes someone directly to you. Knowing where to find it (and how to customize it) is useful for sharing your profile, linking to a business Page, or verifying your account elsewhere online.

Here's exactly how to locate it across different surfaces and devices.

What Is a Facebook Address?

A Facebook address is simply a URL — a web link that looks something like:

https://www.facebook.com/yourname 

or, if you haven't set a custom username:

https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789012345 

Every Facebook account — personal profiles, business Pages, and groups — has one. The format depends on whether a custom username (also called a vanity URL) has been set. Without one, Facebook assigns a numeric ID instead.

How to Find Your Facebook Profile Address

On Desktop (Web Browser)

1. Log in to Facebook and click your name or profile picture in the top navigation to go to your profile.
2. Look at the address bar at the top of your browser.
3. The URL shown there is your Facebook address.

If it ends in something like profile.php?id=1234567890, your account doesn't have a custom username yet. If it ends in a name — like facebook.com/jane.smith — that's your personalized address.

On the Facebook Mobile App (iOS or Android)

1. Tap your profile picture in the bottom menu (iOS) or tap the three horizontal lines / hamburger menu, then your name (Android).
2. Tap the three-dot menu (⋯) near your profile.
3. Select "Copy Link" — this copies your full Facebook address to your clipboard.

You can also tap "Share" to send it directly to someone.

📋 The mobile app doesn't display the URL visibly the way a browser does, so using "Copy Link" is the most reliable method on a phone.

How to Find Your Facebook Page Address

If you manage a Facebook Page (for a business, brand, or creator account):

1. Go to your Page.
2. On desktop, the URL in the browser bar is your Page address.
3. On mobile, tap the Page name, then use the three-dot menu to find "Copy Link."

Pages with a username look like facebook.com/yourbusiness. Pages without one use the same numeric ID format as personal profiles.

How to Find Your Facebook Group Address

Groups work the same way:

1. Open the group.
2. On desktop, the browser address bar shows the group URL — usually formatted as facebook.com/groups/groupname or facebook.com/groups/1234567890.
3. On mobile, use the group's Share option to copy the link.

Custom Username vs. Numeric ID: What's the Difference?

A custom username is easier to share, remember, and use in print or on other platforms. The numeric ID works just as well as a link — it just looks less polished.

How to Set or Change Your Facebook Username

If your URL is currently a string of numbers, you can set a custom one:

1. Go to Settings & Privacy → Settings → Personal Information → Username (on desktop).
2. Choose a username that isn't already taken.
3. Facebook will update your profile URL immediately.

⚠️ Facebook limits how often you can change your username, so choose carefully. Names must be at least five characters and can only contain letters, numbers, and periods.

Variables That Affect Which URL You Get

Not everyone ends up with the same type of Facebook address, and a few factors shape what you're working with:

• Account age — Older accounts may have legacy URL formats or usernames tied to previous name configurations.
• Account type — Personal profiles, Pages, and groups each have separate URL structures.
• Whether a username has been claimed — If your preferred name is taken, you'll need a variation.
• Region or account restrictions — In some cases, Facebook limits username changes for accounts flagged for policy reasons.
• Platform you're using — The browser makes the URL visible at all times; the app requires an extra step to surface it.

When Your Facebook Address Matters

Knowing your Facebook address becomes relevant in different scenarios:

• Linking your profile on a resume, portfolio, or email signature
• Sharing your business Page with customers
• Connecting Facebook to third-party tools or platforms that ask for a Page URL
• Verifying your identity on platforms that cross-reference social accounts
• Directing people to a specific group without relying on search

The address itself is public by default for profiles set to public visibility, but even private profiles have a URL — it just won't show much content to people who aren't your friends.

Whether you're working with a personal profile or a business Page, the right URL to use depends on what you're connecting it to, how it'll be displayed, and whether a clean, readable username matters for your specific purpose.
