Utilize this interactive demo to understand the steps for changing your Fiverr username.

‍

Unfortunately, Fiverr does not allow users to change their username after the account has been created. However, if you really need a different username, here are your options:

‍

Go to your profile settings by clicking your profile icon.
Select 'Profile'.
Unfortunately, Fiverr does not allow users to change their username after the account has been created. Click on the 'Settings' option from the drop-down menu.
Scroll down to the ‘Account Deactivation’ section and select the reason 'I want to change my username'.
Click 'Deactivate Account.

📌 Why this matters

Your username becomes part of your professional identity on Fiverr, appearing in your gig URLs and client communications. A poorly chosen username can undermine credibility with potential buyers who judge professionalism at first glance.

While deactivating your account seems drastic, it's often worth the reset if your current username contains outdated information, unprofessional elements, or doesn't align with your evolved brand. The temporary inconvenience of rebuilding reviews and rankings is typically outweighed by the long-term benefits of a username that properly represents your services.
