# Update contact

`PUT /contacts/{contactId}`

Use this method to update a contact of a processing account.  

To update a contact, you need its contactId. Our gateway returned the contactId in the response of the [Create Processing Account](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/merchant-platforms/create-processing-account) method.  

**Note:** If you don't have the contactId, use our [List Contacts](https://docs.payroc.com/api/schema/boarding/processing-accounts/list-contacts) method to search for the contact.  

You can update the following details about a contact:  

-	First name and last name.  
-	Contact details, including their phone number or mobile number.  
-	Identification details, including their identification type and number.  
-	Role within the business, for example, if they are a manager.
