Amazon has become one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms. It not only has a wide influence in the international market, but also has a large number of loyal users in the Chinese market. If you want to shop or open a store on Amazon, you need to apply for an Amazon account. So, what are the conditions for applying for an Amazon account?
1. Over 18 years old.
Before applying for an Amazon account, the first requirement you need to meet is to be over 18 years old. This is one of the legal restrictions set by Amazon. If you are under 18 years old but want to apply for an Amazon account, you can consider asking your parents or guardians to apply in their name and operate it by you.
2. Valid email address.
You also need a valid email address to apply for an Amazon account. When registering, you need to fill in your commonly used email address, which is an important contact method for your account. When you shop or open a store on Amazon, you need to contact Amazon frequently, so be sure to fill in your real email address.
3. Proof of identity information.
In order to ensure the security of the platform, applicants also need to provide relevant proof of identity information. Generally speaking, you need to provide your name, address, date of birth and ID number (or other valid identity proof). After identity verification, you can shop or open a store on Amazon.
4. Business license.
The company must be a legal person of a limited company registered in mainland China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region or Taiwan. At present, the platform does not accept individual industrial and commercial households or legal persons in the Macao Special Administrative Region. The copy of the business license should be clear and readable, the business license must not be expired, and the company name on the business license should be consistent with the name on the registered Amazon account.
5. Company bill or personal bill of the legal person.
When opening a store on some websites, any water/electricity/gas invoices issued by a regular utility within the past 90 days must be provided. The address on the bank account statement should be consistent with the address on the registered Amazon account.
The above are the conditions for applying for an Amazon account. Only when the above conditions are met at the same time can you apply for an Amazon account and start using the services provided by Amazon. Users who want to shop or open a store on Amazon can apply according to the conditions and use Amazon services to purchase the required goods or open their own stores.
