Seller Identiity Verification is an easy and hassle-free process that can be completed at the comfort of your home with an internet connection. However, to address any hindrances faced by sellers, we've listed a few points to be noted during the Seller Identity Verification process:

The review process can take up to 2 business days from the time we receive your documents. We will email you the results.
We reject documents when we can't verify them or when they don't meet our criteria.
In certain cases, we request you to resubmit your documents. Refer to the step by step registration guide before resubmitting your documents to avoid errors.
If we are unable to verify the information you provided and request that you resubmit your documents, you will have to submit them within the next 30 days to complete this request. If we do not receive your documents within this timeframe, your case will be closed and we will not be able to activate your account to sell on Amazon.
Our decision to approve or reject a document is final and cannot be appealed, though you can re-apply with a new account.
