is it possible, after user join my websites, to validate their identity connecting a paypal account and check if the credit card’s name, surname, address match?
As Heandel said, this is not something you should want. However, an alternative is to do a $1 authorization using Express Checkout. Set PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Authorization, retrieve the token and redirect the user to agree to the $1 authorization charge. Once redirected back to your site, you’ll have received a PayerID, which you can use to call GetExpressCheckoutDetails and retrieve some (definitely not all) information.
E.g. first name / last name and email address. In addition, you’ll know he/she has a working funding source.
Once satisfied, you can call DoVoid to void the $1 authorization and the user will not be charged anything at all.
