Step 3: Provide Your Identity Information

• Enter or review your information
  • Full legal name (The name on your account should match your ID)
  • Address
  • Date of birth
• Save your information if you made changes.

Step 4: Submit and Wait for Verification

Depending on the country, Amazon accepts most government-issued IDs, such as passports, residency permits, or driver’s licenses. See this Help article to search accepted IDs by location.

Verification will only take a few minutes, and Amazon will notify you once it’s complete. If your legal name has changed recently, and your ID hasn’t been updated, read these instructions.

Step 5: Check Your Verification Status

• Go to Account Settings and look for any pending verification requests.
• If Amazon needs more information, they will send an email with further instructions.

Troubleshooting Identity Verification Issues

If your identity verification fails, consider the following:

• Ensure your name and address match the details on your official documents.
• Upload clear and valid identity documents.
• If you entered incorrect details, update them in your account settings and resubmit.
