We need to verify your identity

We noticed you tried to add money to your account. When you add money for the first time, we're required to verify your identity through PayPal's Customer Identification Program. Verifying your identity builds stronger security for everyone in the PayPal network. It also allows you to use additional products and services, such as adding money from your bank account.

We haven't verified your identity yet. Please visit the Resolution Center to complete the required steps.

Did you know you don't need to add money to your PayPal account to make a payment?


If you want to send money to someone or make a payment through a website, all you need is a linked credit card or bank account.
