There are two different names on your Moneda account, and they change in different ways.

Your **display name** is what other people see on Moneda. You can change it yourself any time in Settings > Account > Display name.

Your **legal name** comes from the identity verification you completed when you opened your account. It is the name on your virtual accounts and on your identity documents, so it cannot be edited in the app. What happens next depends on why it needs to change.

**Your name itself changed**, for example a new surname after a marriage or a legal name change. Your identity has to be verified again against your new document, so you will go through verification once more with the updated ID.

**Your name is right but was recorded wrongly**, most often when a given name and surname were swapped. This is common with names that do not follow a first-name-then-surname order, and it does not need a new verification. Open Help Centre > Talk to Support in the app, ask to be passed to a human, and tell us the correct order. We fix it for you.

If you are not sure which applies, contact support and describe the problem rather than starting verification again.

Do not delete and recreate your account to fix a name. Deleting an account is permanent, it does not reset identity verification, and it terminates any virtual accounts you have.
