    Why use your real name? Use cash and use a fake name. You gotta do that in person though.

    U don't have to show ID as long as it's under 1000. Sometimes they require it to send to certain countries.

    I have always used a fake name, but I say use your real name incase you ever need to get a refund. It is very difficult if not impossible to get a refund without ID should this problem ever arise.

    Always keep your receits when done in person. If you use a fake name the only thing that will assure you of any change without ID is that receit.

    Receipt didnt work for me. They will allow you to change the name and location of person recieving the money with the receipt...sometimes.

    I forgot to put a test question one time for someone and I put another name. I had to drive back pist as hell because I specifically told the lady that there was a test question in the bottom. Do you think she did it? Nope! I went back with the receipt and I told the other lady that they forgot the TQ and they fixed it for me with my receipt. Another time I tried that and I incorrectly put the wrong # and that was another hassle. I hate WU.

    Western Union is nothing but a huge hassle.
