Hello,I recently updated my legal name as I am now divorced. However my PayPal.me link shows <removed> instead of <removed> as my last name. How can I get that information updated? This is not my legal last name and I have no documentation that supports <removed> as my last name. Only <removed>. Could you assist me with this inquiry? Thank you

No you can't edit it, that is why paypal say this >>

Once you create your PayPal.Me link, you won’t be able to edit it. So choose carefully!

You can close the account and make a new one with the same (or different) email address and make a new PayPal.me link:

 

Close account checklist:

 

  1. Resolve any open disputes or account limitations.
  2. Zero out the balance.
  3. Cancel any active automatic payments.
  4. Remove financial info (bank accounts, cards).
  5. Go to your account settings (Cog Icon).
  6. Click Close Account under Account Options section.

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Why does it tell you how to change it if you can’t change it? Frustrating. https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-manage-my-paypal.me-link-faq3921
