So basically I manage my sons PayPal account, so his name is on it but I opened the account but there’s a problem. PayPal wants him to verify identity but he can’t do it because he’s underage and his name is on it, I want to change the account name back to mine (the mother) complete those identification issues. Help!!!

Hi @MattsPharmacy,

 

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with your son's account. PayPal does not allow the creation of an account under a minor, even if it's being run by a parent. All accounts under a minor's name/identity are restricted pending verification. Unfortunately, we do not allow a name to be changed on a PayPal account, except in a situation where a business is changing ownership. I apologize for any inconvenience.
