Changing your name with Robinhood
What Robinhood requires, transcribed from its own help page and last checked on 25 July 2026.
Robinhood takes a legal name change through a support chat, with a photo ID in the new name, and completes most within five business days.
Robinhood handles this in its mobile app or online.
You will need: a photo ID showing your updated legal name.
Do the government agencies first — most companies ask for photo ID in your new name, which means your license has to be done already.
