I can’t use the authenticator option either, because I have to verify my phone number and again I can’t use my German number. It honestly blows my mind that I am forced to have a phone number from the country that is written in ‘‘my location’’. I should be able to use any phone number I want. Therefore, I can’t change my phone number to a German number. Since my location is set to Netherlands, I can’t use the SMS code option you mentioned, because the system expects that I have a Dutch number. Unfortunately it is not available in the Netherlands, which is ridiculous in itself, but that is another story. I lived 10 years ago in the Netherlands, but never changed my location to Germany, where I live now. I know you wrote specifically ‘‘if you already have set that up’’ for some options, but if someone didn’t, like me, he is screwed. If the location is not set correctly, you basically can’t do anything. I assume they also have to follow the laws of the EU as well. By law Blizzard has to abide by all the Personally Identifiable Information protection laws at the Federal and California state level. It is deleted when the ticket is completed. If you do end up having to attach ID you will want to read VERY carefully about how to submit it (what parts to cover) and what they do with it.

Blizz requires us to use our real info when we create a Bnet account. The alternative is to use the Country Change feature that requires you to authorize it via Authenticator code, SMS Code (you have to have those set up on the account) OR Govt Issued ID.Īll of this is done as a Security measure to protect accounts from malicious activity. To do that you will have to submit a Ticket to Billing and Account Support. If you are unable to use the feature, submit a legible image of your most recent utility bill with your name and new address. BattleTag changes must adhere to our BattleTag Naming Policy. The McCree to Cole Cassidy name change goes live this week on October 26.You can change your country / region on your Blizzard account by using our country change feature. Do note that if you already have a free name change credit on your account, they do not stack so you can't request another - though you could change your BattleTag now and then request a new one to store for later. Blizzard says it will take up to 30 days to actually receive your name change token though so give them a chance to get through the queue of requests and get those credits out. You have until November 5 to make your request. If you want a free BattleTag name change and don't have a name change credit remaining, you can use this link to request one.
