Tranferring money from Australian Account to US Account

[jadepetals]

I lived in Australia in 2016. I used a PayPal account while I was living and working there on a Working Visa. I have money left in that account that I want to transfer. I am then asked to prove my identity with a statement: Utility Bill, Council Rates, Tax Return/Assessment, Bank Statement, or Centrelink Statement. I no longer have access to these as I was living there with a Working Visa and my computer crashed 2 years later when I returned to the States. How can prove my identity and transfer my balance into my US account?

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
