- Last Update: If you have opened Twitter today you may have noticed an increase in messages reporting that the social media site Facebook was asking them to provide a Government ID to unlock their account on the site.The message that users received during log in to their Facebook account states the following: "For security reasons your account is temporarily locked. If this account reflects your real name and personal information, please help us verify it".The user who has been temporarily locked out of the account is then asked to provide a government ID for verification.Facebook itself has not published a public comment yet and it is unclear if the company will address the issue at all.Facebook Government IDFacebook's Help page provides further information about the practice:If you can't verify your account using your mobile number, you'll need to provide a copy of your photo ID. This could be a scanned copy or a close-up photo you've taken.Facebook government IDUpload a photo IDHow to upload your IDOptional: Cover up any confidential information (ex: license or passport number)Scan or take a picture of your ID with your digital cameraMake sure you can clearly see your name, birthday and photoSave the photo to your desktopClick the button below and follow the instructions to upload your IDThis is my government issued ID.

The most recent lock-out that requested users to provide Facebook with IDs to unlock the account again happened in January of this year. The company back then stated that it may ask users for photo IDs depending on the violation that occurred.Common violations where this may be the case are accounts where either the name or birth date do not match or exist at all (for instance if a nickname is being used), and maybe also at times to verify account ownership after a hacking attempt.The only two options that locked out Facebook users have is to either comply with the request and transfer a picture of a photo ID to Facebook, or stop using the site altogether.
