When you create an Amazon Payments merchant account, they verify the business and personal information. You may be asked to provide documents to support their verification process. Amazon requires sellers submit two types of documents to the Seller Identification Verification: National ID card & utility bills for proof of address
The document can be requested during account registration, in Seller Central (where you manage your account), or via email. Amazon suggest checking your emails regularly.
Why Does Amazon Need to Verify My Information and What Is the Process?
After registering a new seller account, verification must be passed before you receive permission to sell on the platform. However, secondary verification for existing seller accounts, also known as “re-verification”, may be required from time to time for accounts that are active and selling normally.
The exact process can differ depending on the marketplace (US vs EU, for example) and your business structure, but generally Amazon require you to upload a government-issued ID document, usually a passport or driver’s license, and proof of address, such as a bank or credit card statement, or utility bill. If your legal entity is a company, additional documents may be required, such as a Business License or Registration or Articles of Association. The biggest difference between the US and EU/UK verifications process is that for EU/UK accounts, Amazon may require you to submit an ownership structure diagram, and also to provide share allotment declarations and documentation, concerning the “beneficial owners” – the people who ultimately own or control your business or who own more than 25% of shares.
Documents Needed for Proof of Address for Your Amazon Store
The most common documents for proof of address are lease/mortgage statements and utility bills.
Let’s cover the lease agreement first. If you own the building that your business operates out of, you may provide Amazon with a deed or mortgage statement. If the office is leased, you can provide a lease agreement.
Need a U.S. physical address? If you do not own or lease an office, then you can use PSDLIFE to obtain leased office space for an affordable price to use as proof of address for Amazon.
Now, for the utility bill, you must provide a bill associated with the physical address used to register and any other supporting documents that prove you can operate from that address. To show the service address, it needs to meet the following criteria:
- It is a water, electricity, gas, internet, or telecom bill issued by the utility company ( VOIP and mobile phone bills are not acceptable).
- The name and service address must be visible and match the company and the physical address.
- If the lessor pays for utility, then the lessor’s name on the bill must match the lessor’s name on the lease agreement.
- It must be issued within the last 60 days.
A utility bill is any service you pay in addition to rent, lease or mortgage, provided at your address. Also, you may not use a utility bill in someone else’s name.
