The review is necessary as PayPal is a banking institution and is required to confirm customers’ details. You can find more information about supplying the SSN on US Community Forum or following these links: http://ow.ly/GvvdS; http://ow.ly/GvviS; http://ow.ly/GvvlW. Hope it helps. Happy New Year! Anna Anna - Whilst this may be 'easy' and 'required' by US banking institutions it isnt required here in the UK. Also PayPal REALLY needs to think about its customer service approach when requesting this information. As a long time customer I received a very blunt and rude email demanding the information with no justification as to why they needed this information, no way for me to contact them in a simple and straight forward manner and a threat that if I didnt provide this information then my service would be cut. If a high street 'bricks and mortar' bank acted in this manner then the press would be having a field day - however as PayPal is an invisable face it gets away with such behaviour. Everyone in the UK - If you get this demand do what I did: Send a copy of your passport but block out all of the numbers, the same with your proof of address, in this case I sent my driving license again with all of the important detail redacted. PayPal CANNOT contact these agencies to verify your data as this would be a direct viloation of the Data Protection Act. Also neither document was less than 6 months old - PayPal accepted this and unlocked my account.
