Will Amazon ask to see a copy of my driver's license?

[LittleLauien]

I've had PayPal ask me to upload a copy of my driver's license, however, Amazon has never done this to me. I've read a few threads where they have done this.

Is there a specific reason they would ask, or is it just random?

How likely is it to happen?

[MICKY H]

It may happen or may not. Thats the best answer you will get, sorry

[LittleLauien]

Have they ever asked anyone here to send them a copy of their Social Security Card?

Amazon doesn't usually care enough to go to that trouble. They'd rather just boot you. I would suspect any such request as a phishing attempt unless the message is also in your Seller Central message box.

if you selling UK or eu platform then they ll ask for id . Its EU law.

OVIDI, Obviously you don't know the new regulations for opening an EU account.Passport or Driving Licence is now required to open an account and then they may request the same uploaded into seller central.

Nothing like that.... yet.

A solution could be to consider using a correctly created business account with LLC/EIN.

Bottom line is the selling plan of an amazon user.

I am not from the EU as is evident from my country flag.

So why make an irrelevant remark from a territory you are not familiar with. This only confuses people.

Game has changed a great deal on the platforms since you were last here.

Been variations in requests for ID that were and are not phishing.

Has anyone actually been asked to upload ID to Amazon, ever? After all, they are of the mindset that they'd rather just trash you then bother with any more effort.

Yes its part of the EU sign up procedure. You enter you PP or DL number where requested. Invariably they then a few days later for various documents to upload.They are uploaded within seller central. This is an EU banking regulation so amazon have to follow the rules that all customers are verified. Its nothing like the US sign up. Hope this helps

Yes they have.

Forget your outdated thoughts.

amazon has changed its ways.


There are material differences now from the game of 6 months ago for both USA & EU amazon platforms.

Get reading to get up to date.
