Changing fake name to real personal name on FB profile. Possible?

Hey,

My old real personal FB account got banned due to me spamming too much in various groups.

I opened a new Facebook account over 1 year ago with a fake name, new mobile nr (SIM card) and fake email address. I have even used this fake FB account and paid for ads on my various Facebook pages with my real credit card (no longer in use). All other info on this account is accurate except for my fake name. I also have some profile pictures on this account, same as on the FB account that was banned. I have never used any VPN or fake IP to login to my new FB account for over 1 year.

I am now a admin of several big facebook pages on my fake FB profile. But I want to change my fake name to my real personal full name.

Will FB detect that I have opened a new account and ban me?

Will they detect that the IDs i send in case of name verification are the same i sent for my old FB account and ban me?

What are the risks involved? I have not got any messages or warning for over 1 year on my new FB account with fake name.

I don’t think there will be any repercussions. But is there any specific reason you intend to change the name. I’d just advise you to leave it as it is.

just in case i want to advertise again and they might required facebook page authorization in the future as i manage a lot of big pages

Facebook is unpredictable. They might already have a lot of data. It's better if you create a fresh account with your real name and let it age for some time. Even if that account gets banned, you won't lose much.

Oh! I understand. I doubt it will affect, but let’s wait and see others opinion

No, they shouldn't ban you, on a clean account. Facebook is kinda to big to mark and follow a person. In my practice, once I had to prove that it's me, showing the documents, but I had a nickname instead of name and the staff have automatically changed my nickname to my real name, based on my documents.

can't be 100% sure it won't affect, So use another real account.

your old account was banned one year ago. and there are many people having the same name on the world. so I don't think there will be any problem to change the name to your real name. however, please do it if you really need to do it.
