I got married and my last name has been changed. How do I changed it in the PayPal system?

You can change the name on your account if it's misspelled or if you've legally changed your name. If you have a business account, you can change the contact name for your business. However, it is not possible to change the name on your account to another person's name.
 

Here’s how you can change your name:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Profile.
3. Click Change beside "Name."
4. Select the appropriate option and click Continue.
5. Follow the instructions to change your name.

If you’re changing your business contact name or have legally changed your name, you will need to submit documentation for our review. It normally takes 3-5 business days for a review.
