I've sent copies of legal papers about my first name changing months ago. MONTHS. AGO. MORE THAN ONCE. And my name STILL hasn't changed. Just exactly how goddamn long does it take for these people to make such a simple thing as changing someone's first name happen??? It's not THAT hard.
Excuse my language but I'm getting really **bleep**ing mad at this unsatisfactory of a system when I can't even change my goddamn name to what it legally is. I am THIS close to closing the account and never ever touching this **bleep** site ever again.
Edit: Wow, they censor bad words. You're in luck.

Why was you legal name changed? What is your current legal name and want was your previous legal name? What name did you use to open your PalPal account?

I changed my name due to gender reasons. My previous name/deadname does not exist and thus will not be discussed. That name was the one I opened the account with.

If you opened your PayPal account with a fake name and fake gender then you have a problem which is not likely to be fixable. If the name on the account is not and was never your legal name, then that means the account holder does not realliy.
You should phone PayPal support to see if they can identify you.

"Fake name", "fake gender". What the absolute hell?? My gender has not legally changed, only my name has. The name I opened the account with WAS my LEGAL NAME, until I legally changed it to my current one. There is nothing ""fake"" about that.

You state that "my previous name does not exist". That would mean it was fake.
You are not exposing the details of your name and gender changes; this leads to questions about your real name and the name on your account.

By saying that, I mean that my previous name does not exist ANYMORE, because I had it legally changed over a year ago. It was a VERY REAL name, back when I had it.
My gender does not matter when it comes to the issue of updating the name on my account to what it currently and legally is.

Ilegally changed my surname a few months ago, and now I need to attach a new bank account (which has my new name)to my paypal. To do so, the name of my paypal account has to match the name on my Bank account.
I have uploaded all the information, but then lack of any kind of confirmation, any kind of reurn email letting me know my application was recieved made me a bit concerned... and now it seems it could take months??
This seems very strange.
