The Basic Subscription requires that the credit card is in my name

I have a credit card, but the cardholder is my husband. During the identity verification process, I am asked for a card in my name, which I do not have. How can I proceed?

Hello, Thank you for your message! With an IMDbPro Basic Subscription, you can only claim your own IMDb name page. If you'd like to claim the page as a representative or relative of another individual, you will need to upgrade your account to an IMDbPro Standard Subscription. To upgrade your account to an IMDbPro Premium Subscription, please visit Account Settings: https://pro.imdb.com/account/membership_basic

Hello Jolene, thanks for your answer. But my issue is different. I actually want only claim my own IMDb name page, but I cannot complete the basic subscription because the credit card that I use is not in my name, so I don't get the identification and I cannot proceed. Have you any suggestion for that? Thank you

Hello @Marianna, You should be able to use a credit card that is not under your name with the owner authorization. However, to claim your name page you will need to follow a verification process since the name in the name page will be different from the name in the payment method.
