Use this interactive demo to learn how to update your Fiverr username by deactivating your account.

Quick summary

Fiverr does not allow users to change their username after an account is created. The only workaround is to deactivate your account and select "I want to change my username" as the reason, which signals to Fiverr your intent to re-register with a new username.

Steps

Go to your profile settings by clicking your profile icon.
Select 'Profile' from the menu.
Note that Fiverr does not allow username changes after account creation — 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' to complete the process.

📌 Why this matters

Many Fiverr freelancers discover they cannot change their username through standard account settings — a common source of confusion on the platform. Knowing the correct workaround, using the account deactivation flow with the 'I want to change my username' reason, saves users time and prevents unnecessary support requests. This demo matters because it gives freelancers a clear, step-by-step path to resolve a locked username without guessing. Understanding this limitation upfront helps new and existing Fiverr sellers make informed decisions about their account identity before and after registration.
