How do I pass Amazon seller identity verification?
This extractable summary outlines the core enforcement diagnosis and the first verified action step.
Direct answer: Amazon seller identity verification requires matching government-issued photo ID, business registration records, and a recent utility bill or bank statement matching the exact legal entity name and address in Seller Central. Under the INFORM Consumers Act, high-volume sellers must undergo periodic verification. Submitting clean, uncropped, matching documents resolves holds.
