[alensot]

Paypal is very secure and will look into all details before proceeding with name change and you can even try calling them directly through customer acre number5 and they will respond to it

[satyakam]

No according to pay pal tos you can only change misspelled name by requesting to the support but you can't change total name.

Well if we need to change whole name if can't be possible and we need to send them xerox copy of identity documents for verification stuff.

is that if our full name is Jakie Green but we misspelled it to Jakei Grene..

As of my experience some minor details like adding second name and middle initials can be added to your name like for example your full name is Jhon Lyod T. Cruz then you forgot to put Lyod T. just contact them then they will add that detail to your name.

well. if that Lyod T is a family name that would be impossible paypal can add/change it on your account. as per above said. family name is not allowed to change at all.

Lyod for the second name and T for the middle initial. The support just add my second name and the middle initial they are the one who did it.

so you also experienced that paypal did not and can't change the family name of your paypal account? anyway they helpped you to correct your name there.that's good.

[indieover]

people can just close their account. i think that is teh best and make another new account. so there will not need any more changing of names. i think that paypal is very strict on the profile. they want to see real names. and not just make up names.

Yeah that is what my friend told me. but in my case there was only a small detail need to be added to my account at PP so that it would coincide with my bank account name.

I am wonder if a person just want to change his name with his christian name but it is not mispelled, it is ok then? I means some people may have christian name in front of his name like kelvin, paul and some sort of name infront the real name.

Yeah they can change that as long as the original name and family name are there and you only have to add minor detail to your name.

[hyxfei]

friends. i heard we can change our paypal account name from one language to another . is that true? my name showing is in Chinese and i want to change to English. how could i do ?

[revvv1234]

I do not think changing name is allowed without documents.You will have to submit your true identity proof.Then it will be possible.

[easy08]

we can change paypal account name by change our email which add to paypal,and whether we can change our other paypal account details.like country?

[hyxfei]

no. we are not allowed to change country i'm afraid and we also only can change our given name but the family name is not allowed to change after we registered.

[revvv1234]

You can change name but you have to give proof of that and for e mail id you can add e mail id but dont know that you can change your primary id or not.

[hyxfei]

yes. we can change the primary email address from one to another.
i found this on my paypal account also .
