Username claiming
Someone has the handle that should be mine.
You are @yourname_official because @yourname has been silent since 2014, or worse, is being used by someone who is not you. There are legitimate routes to that handle. I run them, and then quietly reserve your name everywhere else so this does not happen again.
Most of my cases come from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. I work in your time zone, in Arabic or English.

01The file
What this is
A username sitting dormant, squatted, or used by someone with no claim to it, while you operate under a variation of your own name.
What I do
The handle released and moved to you, exactly as it should read, plus your name quietly reserved wherever you are not yet, so this does not happen twice.
KLAY · a short film
The handle that should read yours.
Released, moved, and reserved.
02Process
How a case runs.
Four stages, the same every time, so you always know where your case stands, and you never have to chase.
-
Request
The links, the grounds, and what you have already tried. One message is enough to begin.
-
Assessment
Whether it can be done, what it costs, and what a realistic outcome looks like, in writing, before anything starts.
-
Execution
Carried out without you needing to check in. You hear from me when there is something to report.
-
Completion
A verified result, and how to stop it coming back.
03Questions
What people ask about this case.
The ones people ask before they write about this in particular. The general questions are on the main page.
Not automatically, and platforms rarely release a handle just for being quiet. What works is a claim with grounds: a registered trademark, a legal name, or an established presence that the platform can verify. Tell me which you have and I will tell you what is realistic.
Do not. Buying a handle breaks most platforms' rules, and the account can be taken back or disabled after you have paid. If there is a claim, I make it through the proper route. If there is not, it is better to know that.
Instagram, TikTok, X, Snapchat, YouTube, Telegram and others. Each has its own process and its own evidence rules, and some are far more workable than others. That difference is part of the assessment.
Scope and price are agreed in writing before anything starts, and both depend on the case. You send the details, you get a figure back and a written read of what is realistic. No open-ended retainers, no sales call.

Keep it. It is the only key to your case page, which shows the stage, the dates and my short notes. Give it only to someone who should be able to see that and send evidence for you: an assistant, a lawyer, a parent.
