how do I change my surname on Paypal?

greenpixey

I just set up a new bank account and found out that if I want to transfer money from my old paypal into my new bank account I need to have same surname on both account. I got married in March and haven't change my details on Paypal, never thought of it. Does anyone know how to do it??? I had a look but cant get my head around it..

no, but i would like to know the answer too, as I will be getting married in november, so i will probably have the same problem as you.. maybe you should try ringing paypal? their customer services is open quite late x

Hi charlottevwa,

I was in the middle of watching Xfactor (sad I know) when I posted my question and didn't think of making a search.

I found the answer to my own question her already posted

A personal name change will require faxing of ID documents to support the request.
