    Hi,

    I recently signed up with PayPal and registered with a misspelled Business Name. I've been exploring the whole site and cant seem to find a way to change the business name i registered with. Anyone here knows how to change it?


    thanks,
    gio

    Log into your account, and go to the help section. Search for 'change business name', and it should be the first option.

    You can also try this link if you are in the us:

    you cant change your name, you have to create a new account, just delete that one and re-make it.

    you can change the business name but it usually requires a bunch of paperwork to verify the business name/address/phone to make sure it's legit. Have done it twice on two separate accounts. Think I faxed them a bank statement, proof of the business name, and a utility bill. They were pretty quick on it.

    I recently went through a PayPal name change.
    Just email their support and they will change it for you.
