How to Change Your Name in PUBG Mobile With a Rename Card

To change your name in PUBG Mobile you need one item: a Rename Card. Open your Inventory, find the card, press Use, type the new name and confirm. If you have no card, the Shop sells one for UC, and the game also gives them out in some of its rewards.

The PUBG Mobile name change card

Your first username is free: the game asks for it when you create your character. Every change after that costs one Rename Card, which older players still call an ID card. One card, one change.

Before you buy anything, open your Inventory. Many accounts already hold a card from the early level rewards, and their owners have simply never noticed it.

If there is none, these are the places to get one:

• The Shop. Look for the Rename Card, usually under Treasures. It is paid for with UC and has cost 180 UC for a long time. The Shop shows the current figure.
• Level and mission rewards. New accounts receive a card as they level up.
• The Royale Pass and events. A card appears among the rewards from time to time, so look through the reward list before you spend UC.

How to change your name in PUBG Mobile, step by step

1. Open the game and tap Inventory at the bottom of the lobby.
2. Tap the crate icon at the side. This is where cards and other usable items are kept.
3. Select the Rename Card and press Use.
4. Type the new name in the box that opens.
5. Press OK. If the name is free and allowed, it changes right away.

If the game refuses the name, it is either taken or it breaks one of the rules below. Try a close variation.

Read the name twice before you press OK. Fixing a typo costs another card, and you may have to wait until the next day.

Name rules to know before you type

• Length. A name can be up to 14 characters.
• It must be unique. No two players hold the same name, and short, common ones are almost always taken.
• No ordinary spaces. The space bar does not work in a name. Players join the words together or separate them with a symbol.
• One change a day. However many cards you own, the game allows one rename per day.
• Keep it clean. Offensive names break the game's rules and can be reported.

What changes and what stays the same

Only the name changes. Your player ID stays as it is, and so do your rank, statistics, inventory, friends list and clan. Friends see the new name automatically, and anyone who has your ID can still find you.

That is worth remembering if you rename often: give people your ID, not your name. The ID is the long number under your name on your profile.

Stylish names, symbols and fonts

A stylish name is made of special letters and symbols that you copy and paste into the name box. The game accepts many of them but not all, and some show up as empty squares on other phones.

Before you commit to one, check three things. It should be readable in the kill feed. Your squad should be able to say it on voice chat. And a friend should be able to type it when they search for you. A name full of symbols looks great on your profile, and then your team calls you "number three" for the whole match.

Frequent questions

Can I change my username in PUBG Mobile without a Rename Card?

No. The card is the only way, bought in the Shop or earned from a reward. Websites and apps that offer a rename without a card, or ask for your login to do it, are after your account.

How many times can I change my name?

As many times as you have cards, but only once a day.

How do I change a clan name in PUBG Mobile?

That needs a different item. Only the clan leader can rename a clan, with a Clan Rename Card from the clan shop. Your personal Rename Card does not work on a clan.

Will my friends lose me after I change my name?

No. They stay on your friends list and simply see the new name. Your player ID never changes.

UC for a Rename Card

If your Inventory has no card and no reward is offering one, the Shop is the short way, and that takes UC. PUBG Mobile UC on Mas4Games is available as Top-up by ID for global accounts and as global UC codes. A top-up by ID needs only your player ID, never your password, and the UC goes to the same account whatever name it carries.
