We need to find Facebook profile and page ID on several occasions now; even a small WordPress plugin needs it now. This guide will help you to find it quickly. 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.
In this article, we shared the steps for finding both Facebook profile ID and page ID. This is Facebook’s way of giving us (and our brands) a unique identity on their system. This helpful facebook ID tip was brought to our attention by John from BCS who are a loan brokerage in the UK. We might be doing a feature on their company in the future so watch out for that soon!
Find Facebook Profile And Page ID
How To Find Facebook Profile ID?
Open the desired Facebook profile in your browser, and then “View Source” of that page (Usually Ctrl + U) and search for profile_id= tag in the code.
This is the profile ID “1058521934” for my personal Facebook profile.
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR STEPS TO IDENTIFY FAKE PROFILES ON FB?
How To Find Facebook Page ID?
Go to the Facebook page you own/admin > “About” > “Page Info.”
Now, at the very bottom, you can find the “Facebook Page ID”.
It’ll look something like this – “137527299736”
If you want to find the Facebook Page ID of some other page, then do try the “View Source” method for them. Search for page_id= tag in the code.
SOMEONE CREATED A FAKE PROFILE & YOU WANT TO REPORT IT?
I hope this simple procedure is helpful for you, you can make use of this on several occasions, even when you are working on Facebook Photo Post Likes and much more.
That’s it. Earlier we used the Facebook graph for finding the profile and page IDs, but right now they are not working properly. This browser ‘View Source’ tip is working right now, you can check that out. We’ll update this post if we find any other methods as well.

I have a stalker that keeps deactivating their account. I get several views a week by this said person when I view the page source, Is there any way I can block an account by only using the ID?
Hi Joshua, your query is confusing, is that stalker’s profile currently active? 🙂

Thanks a lot for this wonderful post. Until I saw this I was wondering hard what to do.
There is no "Properties" option available.
Which browser you tried mate?
Now i found my page id by following your article steps ..
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!
thanks… now I had able to found my facebook profile id.. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this.The easiest way to find the profile id is by clicking on their photo album.
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!
graph.facebook.com/pageslug

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.
Thanks for the trick
