PayPal Requesting Government-Issued ID

[eddyg]

Hi every1,

I need to get my PayPal limitation removed ASAP. They will not accept bank statements and they want one of the following. The account is in a 'made-up' name so what do I do? If I edit some documents will they check they are genuine??

Please provide the following information:
Proof of Identity: confirmation of government-issued ID documents such as:
Drivers License
Passport
Birth Certificates
Other official government-issued ID

Thanks alot ey
Ed-D

No. They want to 'see' you are you That's all.

dont edit a passport because they check the document number to see if your real.

hi,

i am new to this forum but i like the discussion here as the discussion here is very friendly and helpful. i have got problem here that in australia paypal asks for the governmennt issued id like pasport. i had a paypal account before but it was permanently blocked. i had made a mistake that i had faxed my passport to them before. but now i want to make another ebay and paypal account. and my passport details have been changed as i have renewed my passport. so my question is that will paypal still link my new passport details with the old one if i make another paypal account and send them the currect passport. cheers

Welcome to the forum,johnnny

The actual ID does not need to be a passport. Since the accusations that passports got forged, I would just tell paypal they are not getting mine.

A DL should work fine. The DL is easier to supply in any case. If you follow the guides here, you can create an ebay/paypal account and get it to work fine. If/when ID is asked, you worry then.

Hi

thanks for reply. but unfortunately i had also faxed them the driving licence before :(
what we should do when our stealth paypal get limited after receiving 2000 dollars. we should remove the limitation by faxing some documents or should make the new one. cheers.

[johnnnnytheman]

hi,



one more question. as there are only 10-15 banks in australia. so this means that we can only make 10 -15 ebay accounts as we have to link the new bank account with new paypal account everytime.

waiting for your reply. cheers

Does Pay Pal actually keep any documents you send them on file?

PayPal has access to that kind of information for confirmation? Seriously?

Do you have to edit a photo if sending a DL for verification?

Only if you bring it in personally

EDIT: Sorry, that's not very helpful, just being silly

Be creative. Keep in mind the people that look at these things are just looking for stuff that looks funky. And they have to look at countless amounts and are most certainly not paid enough and hate their job.

As far as I know they don't have CIA clearance to scan documents on some super computer like you see on CSI

The key would be the details, not the photo. I'm sure they have had a 2 day seminar on what to "look for"

But photo would not be on that list

Just be careful with the details and be creative. I don't think details beyond that are really a good idea out in the free air.

Now, if you get someone checking that you went to high school with, you're screwed.
Again, being silly

IMO - Don't sweat the photo

pp will only have passport numbers DL numbers that you have previously supplied to them. They are not a Government agency they dont have access to anything else.

Hi all, just got limited. Have nearly 2K in there in need to get out. im using a variation of my name with genuine surname and a made up D.O.B. + friends adress. They are asking to confirm that this details are correct(adrress & D.O.B.).
1. should i just confirm that all is correct?(they might request proof)
2. if they require further proof should i alter the details on my licence? and utility bill?
3. Is there any way they could check those details? (mach person to D.O.B., D/L number)
4. If i somehow get busted can i adjust details to my real ones d.o.b. and adress and get the money out? or if you are cought then money is lost for good?
Thank you

When they ask you to confirm it, that doesn't mean a verbal confirmation from you that its correct. It means they want proof. You will need docs for everything they ask for
