2. Click Profile.
3. Click My money.

To request a confirmation code by mail:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click Help at the top of the page.

If an address is confirmed, the address status displays as Confirmed on payment receipts and the Transaction Details page.

Although the majority of unconfirmed addresses are legitimate, PayPal offers confirmed addresses as an additional layer of fraud protection. Confirmed addresses help prevent stolen credit cards and identity theft. For example, a credit card billing address is confirmed because PayPal can check that the address is the same as the address on file at the credit card company.
