Street Number?

Hello. I'm currently trying to get my account limits lifted, but when asked for my details for verification purposes, it asks me for my Street Number. 

 

I have no idea what my Street Number is, nor do I know how to find out what mine is, and some have even told me that it's something that is utterly unnecessary for UK residents as the Street Number is something only relevant in the US. Some have advised me to leave it blank (Or add a space as it won't let me leave it totally empty), but others have told me that if I fill this out incorrectly, my account may be locked down until I phone Paypal up, so I do not know what to do. 

 

Can someone please give me some advice on this?

I encountered the exact same problem a few minutes ago and was able to resolve it by putting a space in the section for Street Number. I then clicked next and got a message indicating that the limit on my account had been lifted. I hope this works for anyone else with a UK account who finds themselves faced with this problem.  Kind regards.

Well, I registered with a UK address, and my main currency is in GBP, so...Yeah, I'm sure that unless there was some sort of weird option that was hidden away, I opened a UK one.

Well I just went and did a ''pretend'' sign up and it says nothing about a Street Number.

 

It goes >>

 

Address line 1

Address line 2 (optional)

Postcode.

Town / City.

County (optional)

 

 

NOTHING about a street number on a UK paypal account sign up in the address section.

I have the same problem.

 

Tried to change the address on an account I have had for years. It is a UK account. 

 

PayPal is asking me for street number within my personal details. We do not have street numbers in the UK. 

 

How do I resolve this?

Same issue here. I have to validate my account to get restrictions removed since I've used it over a certain amount this year but I'm being blocked from continuing because it asks for both a house number and a street number. If I leave either one off, it won't finish. I can't proceed, so I remain restricted. There is no such thing as a house number and a street number in the UK! I have a UK account too.
