# Update Identity

> Updates an Identity, this action performs a delta of what is submitted in the update and the existing identity.
- Updating details (`person_details` or `institution_details`) might lead to the identity being re-verified (e.g. re-screening name changes), which
could impact the identity's ability to transact on the Platform.
- Setting `set_user_disabled` to `true` will make the Identity `DISABLED` (read [more here](https://docs.paxos.com/identity/statuses) on what this means)
- Setting `tax_details` will update all the tax details for the identity
- Setting `last_kyc_refresh_date` indicates this is not an adhoc-update, and instead an update for a [periodic kyc refresh](https://docs.paxos.com/identity/kyc-refresh)

Changing an Institution Identity to a Person and vice-versa is not supported.
