Detailed explanation of the information and process required to register an Amazon account

For many people who want to start a business on Amazon, it is crucial to understand the information and procedures required for account registration. There are two main types of Amazon account: personal sales plan and personal sales plan. Both individuals and companies can apply. Although the two have different fee structures and functional access rights, they can be converted into each other.

1. Information required to register an Amazon account

[Step 1] Information required to register as an Amazon seller

• An email address used to receive emails from Amazon and buyers.
• A dual-currency credit card that can pay in U.S. dollars, mainly used for Amazon deductions. VISA credit card and MasterCard are recommended here.
• A phone number where you can be reached during registration.
• Name, address, and contact information of the legal person or company.

[Step 2] KYC review and required materials

According to the requirements of relevant European regulatory agencies, Amazon is obliged to conduct company and company owner identity audits (referred to as KYC audits) for sellers who open stores on European platforms (including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.). To this end, sellers are required to truthfully fill in the relevant information through the seller’s backend in a timely manner after registration and upload the required documents as required. The documents required by sellers to upload include:

• Scan copy of company business license.
• Scanned copy of passport of the company’s main contact person and beneficiary (a beneficiary is a natural person or legal person who holds more than 25% (inclusive) of the company’s shares) (if you don’t have a passport, you can use your ID card and household registration book) substitute).
• Company bills. Any company daily expense bill within the last 90 days.
• Personal expense bills. Any personal daily expense bill for the primary contact and beneficiary within the last 90 days.
• Company bank statement. A bank statement of the company’s public account must be issued.
• Overseas bank account used to receive payments. It is recommended that sellers use the company’s public account or the personal account of the company’s beneficiary as the collection account.
