At ServiceNow, we are committed towards a pleasant Customer Experience and we understand that as a ServiceNow customer, you would like to have more self-service capabilities in your hand. One way we try to empower you is through our Service Catalog. Service Catalog on Now Support (HI) has many items for you to request spanning from instance management to general access.
Note: Service Catalogs are security trimmed. Number of items visible to you are dependent on your role in Now Support (HI).
Before submitting your catalog item to rename your instance, review ServiceNow's instance renaming policy. A general tip, aim to have an instance name that is longer than three characters.
Maybe you are rebranding, doing a topology change or just want to better distinguish your instances if you have multiple, you can now do so from the Now Support (HI) Service Catalog. Who wouldn't appreciate an instance name that is easier to remember?
You used to have to open a case with ServiceNow Technical Support for the help. This process can take some time. We recognize your ability to restore your instance doesn't need involvement from a Technical Support. Keeping self-service in mind, we have recently created a new catalog item on Now Support (HI) to help do your work more efficiently. Introducing new catalog item for instance rename.

Increased efficiency with end-to-end automation and no more manual intervention |
The four-step process makes it easy for a requestor to rename their ServiceNow instance without having to wait for response from a support engineer.
