Even though Amazon states two or three days for verification depending on the page, Sellers on the forum have reported that really takes 30 to 45 days.

Seller Identity Verification

Note: You’ll gain access to Seller Central after your account is verified.

Document rejection

Important: We reject documents when we can’t verify them or when they don’t meet our criteria. Our decision to approve or reject a document is final and cannot be appealed, although you can re-apply with a new account.

Amazon requires two documents in order to verify your identity. To avoid having your documents rejected, make sure they meet the following criteria:

All documents must:

• be valid (not expired, revoked, or closed)
• be high-quality, in color, and unobstructed (not angled, blurry, or cropped)
• show the full page
• not be a screenshot
• display matching information (such as your ID number or name) that you use to register to sell on Amazon
• be scanned images, or a photo taken from your mobile device’s camera (no screenshots)
• display the full document (front and back, if applicable)
• be less than 10MB in size
• be in one of these formats: gif, png, jpg, pdf, and docx. Do not include special characters in the file name (examples: $, &, or #)
• be authentic and unaltered
• be in one of these supported languages: Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, or Spanish

Note: If your documents are in another language, you can submit notarized translations in a supported language.

Identity documents:

The identity documents required for each seller depends on the country or state your business is headquartered in, and where you live.

The drop-down options will tell you which options are available to you, such as: passport, driver license, or national ID. In addition to the above requirements for all documents, the ID must:

• show a full document page, or in case of national identity cards, both sides of the card
• be a government-issued identity card that is distributed and recognized by the country where you are a citizen or resident
• be in color (black and white not accepted)
• for multi-page files (both sides of the ID), if the screen does not ask for separate front and back image uploads, be sure to merge the images into one file to upload
• have date of birth (if applicable) that matches the date of birth provided during registration
• have a signature
• if submitting a passport, be sure the passport has your signature

Additional documents

The additional documents requested vary by country and state. An additional document (your customized options display on the registration page) might be a document that proves your business is valid, such as: business license, bank statement, credit card statement, or utility bill.

What to expect after you upload your document

If the necessary documents and information are uploaded, a message will display “Thank you for your request.” Close the tab in your browser.

After you submit documents, Amazon will review your information and may contact you for further clarification, if needed, within 3 business days.

Important: If we are unable to verify the information you provided and request that you resubmit your documents, you will have within the next 30 days to complete this request.
