Hello!

I made my paypal account around 4-5 years ago when I was "afraid" to post my personal information, even my anme) on the internet, so I made a "fake" one, with a random name that doesn't means anything and a fake adress.
Now I have my credit card and my bank account added to this account and it is verified(as I know) and everything is good, I recieve and I send money without any problem, but is there any way so I could contact paypal and prove them who I am and get that personal information changed because I was stupid some time ago without getting my paypal closed or anything? I am not sure about the age I said I had btw..

Call them
I wasn't asking about how could I contact them, I was asking if there is any punishment or anything like that if I do it...
Thanks tho :)[DOUBLEPOST=1512337814][/DOUBLEPOST]
They might actually close your account if you do that, It's worth a shot though.
If they close my account I won't be able to use my credit card or link my bank account when I make a new paypal..

Your name is incorrect
Oh, well, that didn't really work..
"You can make a minor change if it's 2 letters or fewer. For other changes, you can send us documents that show your legal name.

You won't see your name change right away because we review all name change requests. We'll contact you if we need additional information."

Hmm I'm not too sure then - Sorry

Ughh im sorry for you, than i guess you can only contact paypal :| i hope you will get a nice help from them.
It seems like the only way of doing this is by sending them a photo id, but unfortunately I am still underage and I will get my account closed for sure.

Thank you everyone, I will see what I will do as my paypal works just fine like this anyway..

Close your PayPal account, make a new one with your real name. Get a new card from your bank (new card number) and then add that to your "legit" paypal.

Withdraw the entirety of your paypal balance beforehand. Trust me, you won't regret it. I've had 4 paypal accounts locked before and put on a 180 day hold. It's worth the extra few minutes.

Just send them an email. I had a fake name on my PayPal and I just emailed them to change it.
