Do I need to provide proof of home adress to setup a company business account?
 

Hi,

What proof do you have to supply to paypal when you setup a business / company account? Do you need to show proof of home address too?

I have a personal paypal account in my maiden name.
I am looking to create a business account in my married name as I dont want Paypal to connect the 2 accounts in case something goes wrong with the business account. I have a registered business address diffrent than my home address. I am thinking about saying that my registered business address is my home address. But do they look for proof on the home address?

I am fearing if I give them my home address they will understand through a system check that they are 2 people with the same given name under same address and ask me if I am the same person. I will use a diffrent country ID with my new surname but also my old surname as all IDs in Europe do.

What do you think about all of this? Do I need to provide proof of home adress to setup a company business account?
