Many Facebook Applications need Facebook Page ID and Profile ID now-a-days. If you are using a custom username for your Facebook profile or page, then unique profile ID will not appear. You can enter custom username where profile ID may be required. Facebook Like Box and some other plugins require this unique ID.
Below I mentioned two easy and simple steps to find the Facebook Profile or Page ID. In this tutorial, I have used Mozilla Firefox and it is recommended!
Locate Facebook Profile ID – Procedure
1. Go to that Facebook Profile/Page. [Mozilla Firefox]
2. Right click on the Profile/Page Image and choose ‘Properties’
A dialog box named ‘Element Properties’ pops. In the element properties Dialog box, check the ‘Address’ under ‘Link Properties’.
The address will be similar to this :
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=137527299736
In this address URL, ’137527299736′ is the page ID.
Alternate Method – Finding Facebook ID
If the above mentioned method didn’t work for you, then you can try this.
Use Facebook Graph API
You can use Facebook Graph API for detecting your ID. General format is :
https://graph.facebook.com/yourusername
Suppose if your username is “hellboundbloggers”, then it will be,
https://graph.facebook.com/hellboundbloggers
You will get the following details in JSON format. Here you can find the ID in the first line.
{
“id”: “1058521934″,
“name”: “Pradeep Kumar”,
“first_name”: “Pradeep”,
“last_name”: “Kumar”,
“link”: “https://www.facebook.com/hellboundbloggers”,
“username”: “hellboundbloggers”,
“gender”: “male”,
“locale”: “en_US”
}

how to find a face book user name by E-mail address
You can use Facebook's search option for that, just enter the email address of that person on the search box, and you may get that person's name.
Can anyone plsss tell me how to get the email id of a facebook profile which is not in your friend list by using the profile id ??????
Or by any other method ????
Plllssssss……..its urgent
Nope, not possible I guess.
graph.facebook.com/usernameofperson
it doesn't work if user hide his email id from privacy settings.
This is wrong. This method doesn't work anymore.
1) Like the page
2) As brand fan page admin go with the mouse cursor over the like "People like this" and you see the Facebook Page ID.
If you are not an admin ask to an admin to tell you the Facebook Page ID.
Thank you for the update. It worked!

Thanks for sharing this.The easiest way to find the profile id is by clicking on their photo album.
thanks… now I had able to found my facebook profile id..
In the URL of the brownser, change the "www" by the word "graph" <enter> to get de ID and other information of the facebook's object graph.
Tom – Awesome note. Thanks. With the modification of how Facebook handles photos, finding the ID that way is no longer a simple option. However, going to http://graph.facebook.com/pagename is a very simple way to get the page ID!
Now i found my page id by following your article steps ..
There is no "Properties" option available.
Which browser you tried mate?
