Problem with business account confirmation for twitch.

I'm a small Twitch streamer and would like to setup a business paypal so that my real information such as name or address isn't leaked through Twitch donations. However my account is being limited as Paypal is asking for a business address in order to lift limitations. I stream from home and have no utility bills to my name. How am I supposed to resolve this?

Do you have cell phone bill, bank/credit card statement? See requirements below. If you do not have such documentation, write a note explaining why. Note: This situation can potentially get you banned for potential risk so observe the requirements and do your best to provide the docs requested. Even opening a business bank account if you have to. If that is not an option, include in your note explaining why you do not have requested docs that you want to downgrade to a personal account.


Proof of Business Address

The business address document confirms your business entity's correspondence address. We can only confirm physical addresses, not PO Box addresses. All documents must be dated within the last 12 months.

 

We accept copies of the following documents:

  • Current utility or phone bill
  • Current insurance or tax statement
  • Government-issued business license/permit
  • Current Certificate of Good Standing (active status)
  • Current bank statement displaying full business name
  • Current credit card statement displaying full business name
  • Other registration document filed with Secretary of State (for example: Certificate of Incorporation, Partnership Agreement, or comparable business registration document)

We don't accept the following documents:

  • Envelopes
  • Invoices, receipts, all waybills
  • Expired, partial, or obscured documents

Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I am having the same problem I am a freelancer and created a business account because it's easier to send hourly invoices.

 

I added proof of ID and address but PayPal wanted more information like, Place of incorporation and Business registration number, I don't have a business to register so how can I fix this issue. 

 

I sent a message through the contact section on the PayPal website, it was of no help I didn't know what the issue fell under so I assumed it was a limitation problem but the customer service assistant couldn't help me. 

 

What do I do?
