Ingress: Change code name

You can only change your Ingress code name under certain conditions. We'll show you when this is possible and how it works here.

Change Ingress code name online

You can only change your code name if it matches your real name or the activation code. If so, do the following:

1. Go to //support.google.com/ingress.
2. Click on "Contact Us" in the top right corner.
3. Now select the item "Apply for a codename or faction change". Then click on "Apply for a codename change". Confirm with "Email".
4. Enter your code name in the "Your code name" field. Under "Additional information" you can, for example, specify why you want to change the code name. Submit the application with "Submit". You should now receive an answer within two to three weeks and can then change the code name.
