I want to change my account names. I do not have a utility bill. I have upload a copy of my ID and also a screenshot of my KRA returns but the paypal team is still not helping me out. I got a response from them yesterday stating that I should upload a copy of my marriage certificate which i will not have as am not married yet. I do not want to change my legal names I only want to change my account names from the nicknames to the names on myID

1. Go to Settings
2. Click “Change Name” link next to your name.
3. Select “Updating your name (for example, using your full name instead of a nickname)” option, click Next.
4. Upload ID
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

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.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.

I understand you now but let me ask
my account is a personal account. As you have said I have an option to close the account and open one with the correct information but what if I have money in the now existing account? What will happen to the cash if I do close the account to correct the details?
