Help Needed: Sole Proprietor Verification Failed on Amazon
Hello,
I am new to amazon and I’m trying to verify my Amazon.ca seller account as a sole proprietor operating under my full legal name. Since I don’t have a registered business or certificate of incorporation, I submitted the following documents as per Amazon’s guidelines:
A Self-Attestation Letter confirming 100% ownership, sole control, and my date of birth.
A signed and dated Letter of Authorization.
A valid government-issued ID matching my account details.
A recent utility bill as proof of address.
Despite this, my verification failed with a notice stating the information couldn’t be verified.
I’m looking for advice on:
Which documents are typically rejected and for what reasons?
Are there specific formats or details Amazon expects that might be missing from these documents?
What additional or alternative documentation can I provide to satisfy Amazon’s verification requirements for a sole proprietorship under a personal legal name?
Any tips from those who’ve successfully resolved similar issues?
I have updated my store name and I am still seeing old name
Thank you for your help!
