AMAZON ACCOUNT SUPPORT · UNITED KINGDOM
Seller verification is where Amazon checks who you are and who runs the business. When it fails, or your account is held for more information, you cannot list, advertise or get paid. We help UK sellers read the request, prepare consistent documents and write a clear, factual appeal. The Creative Circuit is a digital and Amazon marketing agency, not a law firm, and Amazon alone decides the outcome, so we never guarantee approval.

Quick answer: An Amazon account verification appeal is your written response to a failed or incomplete identity or business check. It normally needs matching identity, address, bank and business details, supplied in the format Amazon asks for. Requirements change, so follow the notice in Seller Central. We help you prepare and present accurate documents; Amazon makes the decision.
When you register, reactivate or change details on a UK seller account, Amazon may ask you to prove who you are and how the business is run. Depending on your account type and notice, that can include a government-issued photo ID, proof of address, bank or card details in the account holder’s name, company information, and in some cases a live video call or an extra document request.
We start with the exact wording of your notice and what you have already submitted. Then we compare names, addresses and dates across every document, so the next submission is consistent, complete and easy for a reviewer to assess.
Verification problems affect new sellers, but they also appear on established accounts after a change of details. You may need support if any of the following applies.
Amazon’s wording changes from time to time. Treat this page as a guide and always follow the instructions in your own Seller Central notification.
A trading name on one document and a legal name on another is one of the most common causes.
Fix: use the name format that matches your official records and keep it identical across every upload.
Blurred, cropped, glare-covered or edited-looking images are hard to review.
Fix: scan or photograph the full document in good light, all four corners visible.
A statement that is too old, missing your full name or showing a different address can fail the check.
Fix: use a recent document that shows your name and the address in your account.
A bank account or card not in the account holder’s name can trigger further checks.
Fix: use payment details that belong to the person or company on the account.
The registered name, address or director details may differ from the public Companies House record.
Fix: check the record and update your account or your company details before resubmitting.
Sending a document type the notice did not ask for can lead to repeated rejections.
Fix: list the exact items in the notice and tick them off one by one.
An unattended verification call or a late reply can delay the review.
Fix: reply promptly and ask Seller Support how to reschedule where that option exists.
Different documents sent at different times can look inconsistent.
Fix: keep a record of every upload and send one consistent set.
1
We review the Amazon message, the deadline and your Account Health status, and list exactly what is being asked for.
2
We turn the notice into a checklist of documents and details so nothing requested is missed.
3
We compare names, addresses, dates and business details across your documents and your Seller Central profile.
4
We flag anything missing, out of date or unclear and explain how to obtain a better copy.
5
We help you write a short, factual reply that answers what Amazon asked and nothing more.
6
You confirm every fact and submit through the official workflow. We help you record dates and case IDs for any follow-up.
Amazon’s exact list depends on your account type and the notice you receive. The table shows what reviewers commonly look for and where submissions often go wrong.
| Item | What to check | Typical problem |
|---|---|---|
| Photo identity | In date, all four corners visible, clear and legible | Glare, cropping, expired document |
| Proof of address | Recent, shows full name and address | Old statement or different name |
| Bank or card details | Name matches the account holder | Personal card on a company account |
| Company details | Match Companies House and your invoices | Legal and trading names mixed up |
| Beneficial owners | Names and details are complete where asked | Missing directors or shareholders |
| Contact details | Email and phone are current and monitored | Missing the call or follow-up message |
| Earlier submissions | A record of what was sent and when | Conflicting uploads |
A short, accurate summary lets us judge the scope quickly. Where possible, gather the following.
The Amazon notice: the full text, the date and any case ID
Documents already sent: copies of what you have submitted so far
Business details: legal name, registered address and company number if applicable
Identity and address documents: the items Amazon has asked for, if you hold them
Previous correspondence: replies from Seller Support and their dates
A dated timeline: a plain, factual summary of what happened
Please note: use secure channels for sensitive records. Do not send passwords, one-time codes or full card numbers through an ordinary contact form. We will never ask for them.
If a document was rejected once, change what was wrong rather than resending it unchanged.
Use the form of the name that matches your official records on every document.
Short, factual and specific replies are easier to review than detailed stories.
Submit documents belonging to the account holder or legal representative.
A new account can create a related-account problem. Resolve the original issue instead.
If you moved from sole trader to limited company, or added a director, the verification record may no longer match your documents. Update the account details first, then supply documents that reflect the new structure. Keep the dates of each change to hand.
Verification belongs to the account holder or legal representative. We can explain what to prepare and review your documents, but the identity checks must be completed by the right person. Where account access is helpful, we agree it with you first and recommend limited-permission user access rather than sharing logins.
Be ready with the original documents, a quiet room and a stable connection. Use the same name that appears on your account. If something goes wrong on the call, note the time and reply promptly through Seller Central.
Repeated requests for the same information usually mean one detail does not match. Compare each document against the others line by line, and against your registered details, before you send anything again.
UK sellers often trade through a limited company, a partnership or as sole traders, and each route changes what Amazon may ask to see.
People often confuse these. They overlap, but the evidence and tone are different.
| Question | Verification appeal | Suspension appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Main issue | Identity or business details could not be confirmed | A policy or performance concern led to a restriction |
| What Amazon wants | Accurate, matching documents | Root cause, corrective action and prevention |
| Typical evidence | ID, address, bank, company records | Operational records, invoices, process changes |
| Our role | Document review and clear wording | Review, plan of action drafting and evidence guidance |

A verification appeal is a marketplace process, not a legal dispute. If your situation involves contractual rights, litigation, regulated activity or a disagreement over ownership of the business, speak to a qualified solicitor.
The Creative Circuit is a digital and Amazon marketing agency. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or represent anyone in legal proceedings. Amazon decides every verification outcome, and no result can be promised.
Indicative price: £150. We review your Account Health status and notices, then set out the issues, evidence gaps and sensible next steps.

Indicative price: £495. For a suspension with a clearly defined issue and usable records. We read the notice, organise your evidence and help you draft a response to submit.

Indicative price: from £895. For rejected appeals, several linked issues or a long evidence history. We review the history and agree a written scope first.

Prices are indicative and can change with the scope of your case. We confirm the scope and total fee in writing before any work begins. No outcome is guaranteed, because Amazon decides every appeal.
It is a written reply or resubmission after a failed or incomplete verification, supplying accurate documents and explaining what was wrong and what has been corrected.
Usually because of a mismatch or quality issue, such as names or addresses that differ between documents, unclear images, an out-of-date proof of address or a bank account that does not match. Your notice should say what Amazon wants to see.
Review times vary and Amazon does not guarantee a turnaround. Check the status and any messages in Seller Central.
No. Amazon makes the decision. We help you prepare accurate documents and a clear response, but we cannot promise approval.
Only if Amazon accepts it for your account type. Follow the document list in your own notice.
Check Seller Central for rescheduling options and reply promptly. We can help you word the message.
Not always, but if you registered as a business the details must match your records. Check the current registration options in Seller Central.
Not necessarily. We can often work from the notice and documents you share. If access is useful we agree it with you first and recommend limited-permission user access.
No. We never create, alter or backdate documents. We help you present accurate information clearly.
No. The Creative Circuit is a digital and Amazon marketing agency, not a law firm.
When verification is part of a wider suspension notice.
Tell us what Amazon has asked for, which documents you have sent and what has happened so far.
Avoid sending passwords, one-time codes or full bank details through an ordinary contact form. Any decision to proceed is made together after we understand the notice.
