I have attempted to change my name which has been changed legally.
I have government documentation showing both the old and new name and as I can only upload one other document I uploaded my Drivers Licence with my old name and a photo as the new temporary licence doesn't show a photo.
It was rejected with no option to respond.
How do I contact PayPal or do I have to wait 2 weeks for my new licence to arrive?
For Australia in contact us there are no phone numbers, the only contact page is for disputing transactions and the just like texting box is an automated bot that in this case is absolutely useless.
How do I follow up on this issue with an actual human?
