Name Change

[SueJ555]

So I signed up on a fake Name as attempt to not give away too much of my info unaware you needed to verify you're account in order to Accept money. Last night I requested a name change (Gave all requested documents to prove my Identity, Drivers License and trash bill), I'm wondering if its Likely PayPal accepts my name request? And if anyone has gone through it, how long did it take?

If the name on the account is not a name that was ever your legal name, it is not likely that a name change will be possible. Names can be changed on an account in the following circumstances:

A legal name change

A minor misspelling

And in the case of an account for a registered business, a change in the designated contact for the company.

Changing from a fictitious name (or, as in your case, a name unrelated to your legal name) to a legally recognized name is not something that is supported. If the account is not currently limited, you may wish to close the account and open an account using the correct information.
