# Updating your profile name

If the name on your personal Payhawk account is incorrect due to a typo or a name change, you can update it from your personal profile.

## Updating your profile name in the Mobile App

To update your profile name in the Payhawk Mobile App:

1. Tap your profile picture and select **Edit Profile**.
2. Tap your first or last name depending on which one you’d like to update and edit it.

> [!WARNING]
> It is mandatory to have first and last names with which your Payhawk account is associated.

## Updating your profile name in the Web Portal

To update your profile name in the Payhawk Web Portal:

1. Click on your profile icon and select the **Manage profile** option.
2. Go to **Personal info** > **Your profile** and update your name.
3. Click on **Save changes**.

> [!WARNING]
> If you have cards issued to your Payhawk account, updating your name in the Payhawk Web Portal won’t change the name on your existing cards. To update the name on a card, the current card must be closed and a new one issued. If this applies to you, contact your company's Payhawk Administrator.
