This video is for educational purposes, how can we change name to our PayPal account. If you do need help or questions feel free to post your comments below.
i just wanna ask. because i have a paypal account which i need to change my name cuz i didn't put my second name instead i put my my middle name which i had trouble getting my identity to be confirmed. so i couldn't get my money which i received from my other paypal account. i don't have bank account or credit card. it says "money is waiting for you, accept the money" i couldnt accept it cuz my info isn't confirmed yet and my identity cant be confirmed because of my incorrect name. pls help me out :( thankyou so much
The best option is to contact the sender to cancel the payment, because if payment is not being accepted or unclaimed after 30 days it will be returned to the sender.. You can call PayPal and explain its your middle initial in that way they can make some update because that would fall more than 1 character.. They would make update so long as you can provide valid documents that the last name on your PayPal was your middle initial.
@@ElielTheMarvael I tried to make the minor changes and it won’t let me. I took two letters off my first name and then I tried on my last name since the first name wasn’t working
@@tinaprather3359 whats the error mgs that you're getting? If the correction is more than 2 characters system wont allpw you to do that. I would suggest to just create a new account with same email.. just close that account first..
Ang alam ko po hnd po kc cya ma close unless meron pang balance. So need tlga i transfer yun or donation.. ngayon kng ang account mo is limited ang mangyayare jan after 6months pa makuha pera
Do you have an idea when it comes to suffixes? Because on my bank accounts it was next to my surname but on my paypal account it is next to my first name, will it have a problem?
Suffixes can be updated as well.. however based on the scenario you're providing thats not a problem.. PayPal would consider even if your first name and last name was switched during registration.
@@ElielTheMarvael Thank you! That's the only problem I have because when I registered there's no other option to put suffix so I just put in on my first name, so it is shown Like this my name here in UA-cam lol. But on my debit card my suffix is at the end of my surname. I thought I will have problem because it doesn't match(Angelo Jr Acorda vs. Angelo Acorda Jr). Thank you!
That's totally fine If your name in PayPal same as what it appears on your UA-cam account...In case PayPal requires you to submit photo ID in the future for security they will consider that :)
Account can't be close if there's a balance left on it. Though if money is not yet received you can close account and sign up a new one using same email address
So if you don't have any documentation or proof of legal name change, then you cannot change name at all, the only option that you have is to create a new account with same email after closing that current account you have.. Now if you create a paypal account with a fictitious name you still need to provide an identification. Hope this info helps
I want to change the name with documentation what option I choose change name or update name , I have 160$ in my acount and I use fake name now my acount is temporary limited , if I updated with original name or I'd card photo then it would be fine or not??? Plz bro help me
Sorry for the delayed.. You have to change name first before you can transfer the funds.. if limitation is not lifted funds can be transfered after 180 days.
Hello, my account is business and i tried to change my legal name but the edit name option is not showing, I've submitted my documents 3 times already yet there's no results or message i hope u can help me out
Hello, with regards to your concern kindly call PayPal, they can change it manually so long as you have already the documents, they can also verify your identity over the phone. Possible reason as to why no changes after you have requested, probably the documents is not readable or there’s missing information. Also documents should be full page and no reduction or cropped portion
Sir, what's the best thing to do para madaling makapagpalit ng name? Nabasa ko kasi na, pwede kong iclose ung acct. tas gawa ako bago? Tama po ba? Pls. reply po. 🙏🙏🙏
Withdraw nyu po muna or send mo sa ibang PP account before close account. Pero if same name lng naman yung dalwang account pwd ipa request kai PayPal na balance transfer.. pero po pag limited ang account ang option lng tlga is wait 180 days from limitation date, before pwd mka pag withdraw. Pero ma withdraw lng din cya sa bank account na nka link. Pwd exception na send sa ibang account pag wla na access sa bank na nka link sa account.
ok lang ba yun mag sign up ule ng paypal acc. same gmail .. basta po na close na ung unang acc. ? gnyan din po kasi problem ko . ndi ko na mapalitan name ko . kaya hindi ko po malink s gcash ..
@@ElielTheMarvael pwede po ba for example may pera yung account mo, pero di mo mareceive kasi mali yung name mo kaya hindi nila maconfirm identity mo. pag po ba niclose mo account and gumawa ka ng bagong paypal acc using that email makukuha mo pa po ba yung pera sa acc na yun or mawawala na rin po
@@Celeste-zw7ku yes maam, sorry tagalog ka pla. Nag reply ako dun sa kabila mong question... tama ka basta po unclaimed pa ang payment pwd mo pa ipa close ang account and then gawa ng bagao using same email.. papasok yung pera basta within 30 daya plng.... ang email kc is considered as your account number..
hello po. good day.. ask ko lang po. pano po kaya pwedeng gawin hindi na po ako makapagtransfer sa ibang paypal acc. tapos kapg nililink ko po ung bank acc. ko ayaw na po tanggapin uli. kahit sa gcash po exceeded na ako thank you.. hope u response..
Sorry for delayed, if meron po limitation ang account nyu need po cya ma resolve. If hnd po ma resolve and meron balance sa account makukuha po yan after 180 days po..
Hi i try changing my name to my paypal account but when it comes to upload photo.....it didn't click..please help me..i can't upload photo because the option upload photo didn't work...i tried so many times😢 Or can i open another account but same gmail ?
For Nickname you can change it to your real name, though it should be a government ID. I would strongly suggest if you don't have balance into your PayPal account just close the current account and create a new one with same email..
Yes, all the information can still be used on the new account even if the account is still active. The only thing that you can't use if the account is active is the email address. You can only use one email per account
3-5 yan boss kadalasan.. pero dapat complete yung docs kc pag hnd cya complete hnd nila ireview yan...pagka lagpas 5 business and wla padin. Tawag na pp tayo sa kanila
Pagka more than 2 characters napo mag fall na sya as legal name change.. kng wla kayo balance i would suggest po gawa nlng kayo new account gamit same email.
my problem is solving 😍 so ang ginawa ko is closed account then i register again nag ka error sa name kasi wrong spelling kaya nagkaganun pero okay na naayos kona
@@ElielTheMarvael opo. Ililink ko po kasi sa gcash ko e, ang kaso sabi sa gcash dapat daw same ng name sa paypal:( sayang po yung 200+ ko sa paypal acc ko:((
Hindi ko na ma withdraw Yung laman ng paypal ko, Hindi ko Rin maipasa sa ibang paypal account. May paraan Pa po ba para makuha ko Ang laman ng PayPal ko?
Baka po limited yung account nyu, malalaman po yan sa notification bell and then mag require po yan si PayPal ng docs na need ml i submit.. let me know if working para mka check natin ibang option
Kng kakilala nyu po yung nag padala ng pera irefund nyu nlng po, tapos pa resend nyu sa bagong PayPal account.. pwd din naman po mag mgs ka sa PayPal sabihin mo na fictitious name lng yun, wla ka kc kamo idea.. need mo kamo balance transfer sa isa mo pang PayPal account.. kng malaki ang pera refund tlga para makuha kc sayang po
@@itz__ian4047 I don't what documents it is when you change name legally..I guess depending on the country. Probably there's a writing about name change, I believe any legal documents that you have legally change name.
You are the best bro. Love from Bangladesh ♥️
why I don't have that options?
After I uploaded the document, what else should I do next? How long do I have to wait? Will paypal contact me through email?
Sorry for the delayed.. dispute case should be resolved in less than 30 days

i can make a minor correction more than once if i just wait long enough right?
That's right, so long its minor. However if its more that 2 characters will require you to submit some documents
@@ElielTheMarvael I tried to make the minor changes and it won’t let me. I took two letters off my first name and then I tried on my last name since the first name wasn’t working

@@ElielTheMarvael hi what if you have balance in PayPal then you will close it. Makukuha ko pa rin ba?
Ang alam ko po hnd po kc cya ma close unless meron pang balance. So need tlga i transfer yun or donation.. ngayon kng ang account mo is limited ang mangyayare jan after 6months pa makuha pera
When i tried changing the name it said that i needed a copy of a “government issued photo or id” what do i do there?
You have to upload proof of identity

what if i want to update my name but don't have marriage/divorce certificates or deed poll because I'm not married or anything
You can only do that for minor changes, for other legal terms you need to submit documentation
@@ElielTheMarvael yes but what documentation?
So if you don't have any documentation or proof of legal name change, then you cannot change name at all, the only option that you have is to create a new account with same email after closing that current account you have..

I'm not 100% sure, I think its not going to be considered as minor correction if you have to do that option more than once..
Is it okay to change the name in PayPal from a different person
Due to legalities PayPal won’t allow, unless it’s your name that was change.
