How to Change My MySpace ID

There are two types of MySpace IDs. One is referred to as a "friend ID," or your URL. Your friend ID (URL) cannot be changed. The only way to get a new one is to create a new profile with a new email address. The other ID is your MySpace display ID. This is the ID that people see next to your photo when you post a comment on someone's wall or email messages through MySpace. The MySpace display ID is easy to change and can be done in a few simple steps.

Instructions

1. Log in to MySpace with your email address and password.

2. On your homepage, click on the "Profile" tab and then "Edit Profile."

3. Click on the "Personal Info" tab when the Edit Profile page opens.

4. Select "Name" from the menu bar in the Personal Info section.

5. Erase the current name that is written in the bar next to Display Name, then type in the new name/ID you wish to use.

6. Click on "Save Changes" and return to your home page.

Tips & Warnings

• You can change your MySpace display name as often as you wish.

• If you put your real name in the Display Name box, people will be able to locate you by that name, even if you desire privacy.
