Hey Guys, I just recently changed my name legally via change of name deed poll. I used to have 3 names and dropped one of my forenames making it 2 names (i have always been known by my middle name name and other forename used to annoy the hell out of me). I have had this updated with all my banks, passport, driving license, etc. However, my Paypal account still uses my old name which is kind of annoying and it also shows up on my ebay account as a seller. I tried to manually change this via Paypal account settings but it seems it only lets you modify 2 characters for typo instances. There is an option that says: "change name legally", which states you have to send them a copy of your driving license and deed poll (which I am not at all comfortable with, sending my photo ID over the internet...). The deed poll i would not mind, but to send them a photo of my passport/driving license..no way in hell. Has anyone else been through this or know if there is another way around or perhaps who I may need to contact. If there isn't, it probably isn't the end of the world I will just move on with my day. My old name will only haunt me on paypal lol. Thanks Guys! 🙂
