I have had my account limited. They have asked for photographic id but the problem is it's in my maiden name and my PayPal is in my married name. I dont have any photographic evidence with my married name in it. I need the limitation lifted as I have money in PayPal that I need to access. I tried to change my account name back to my maiden name but havent been responded too. I'm very frustrated as all I get back is automated emails.

In that case, you need to get cracking on getting documentation in your married name because I think you'd have to get a divorce decree to change legal name to your maiden name.
Go to Account Settings (gear icon) and click Update near your name and you have 3 options:
1. Change your legal name - Use a new name after marriage, divorce, etc.
2. Update your name - Use your full name instead of a nickname, for example
3. Make a minor correction - Fix a typo of 1 or 2 characters
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
