Route for this notice

The route for this notice, the checklist and the common questions are below.

1. Check whether the name is held by an active account, an inactive one, or by someone posing as you.
2. If you own a registered trademark, use the platform's trademark report and include the registration details.
3. If the account pretends to be you or your business, use the impersonation report with ID or business documents.
4. If the name was yours and was taken in a hack, recover the account first, then report the holder with the change emails.
5. If none of these apply, pick a clean variation; platforms do not release names just because they are wanted.

Checklist

• Screenshots showing your earlier use of the name.
• Security emails showing the username change, for hacked names.
• Trademark registration number, office and class.
• Links to the account using the name.

Writing the request

• Show the connection between you and the name with documents, not opinion.
• Keep trademark and impersonation reports separate; each form asks for different proof.
• Name the exact username and the account that holds it.

Do not

• Repeated reports from many accounts.
• Buying a username from the holder or a broker; it breaks platform rules and can be reversed.
• Filing false reports against an account that is not misusing your name.

After the request

• If refused, ask whether a different route fits, such as impersonation instead of trademark.
• Reports are answered by email; keep that inbox watched.
• If the name is released to you, change it straight away.

Next options

• Your own name was moved to another account in a hack.
• The name matches a registered brand you own.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
