I got married and changed my name. I am now divorced but have kept my married name and i need to change my paypal to my married name as it is in my maiden name and i cant withdraw funds to my bank account as it is in  my married name. Paypal requires a photo ID with my new name on but i do not have any form of photo identification in my married name. All i have is my marriage certificate. Can i still change my name?

Hi theholeyone, 

 

If you do not have photo ID, as an alternative you can send a copy of birth cert and a government issued document along with your marriage certificate. Once received we can update your details on your PayPal account. 

 

To upload your documents, type "name change" in the help section and follow the online instructions. 

 

I hope this helps and thanks for posting
