Hello

I cannot send my proof of residence to the website because it incorrectly validates the city name, not accepting accents in the name.

My city is São Paulo (Brazil) and I get the following message:  
Only letters, space, hyphen, period, and apostrophe are allowed.

Hello

I can’t change the name of the city anymore. When I made my registration it allowed me to put the name with an accent and so I did, but now when I submit the document it does this validation in the form and does not let me submit. That’s why I’m characterized as a validation error. It should have the same validation as the registration page.
