We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Hi guys.

Have an issue submitting real docs for the new US acc. The quality of the scan is good, language is good, Payoneer is good too. What is the problem? Do I need to keep submitting the same docs until they accept them? Please advice. Thanks a lot.

Keep submitting until they accept.

If you ask the seller forums, they give you the run around, wrong format, not-English, blurry, and general useless information that one would have already checked. They'll probably belittle you and side with Amazon as if Amazon is never mistaken.

There has been cases where it took almost a dozen attempts of submitting the same doc for amazon to finally accept it. They will throw at you every excuse, such as not all pages are shown, its not legible, etc when this is not true. They are retarded.

They are lazy kumars and Apu's who are probably too lazy and are just clicking the not-pass button to keep their employee metrics up so they can quickly get to the next ticket. This is the norm now a days.

Amazon is unreliable and their actions are reckless. Keep submitting, id suggest try changing the name of the doc, file size and format as well as the contents of your text. It may give a different response.

Keep trying its just low pass rates

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Thanks a lot. So I just submit the same docs again and again until they accept? Will amazon limit my attempts? Beautiful said I will have 1-2 attempts only and then will have to make a new store and try again.

You will have around 3 to 4 attempts before they totally block

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

It depends on what exactly the loop is. In my situation, it took over 12 times to verify a new account. I had to resubmit the same utility bill. 50% of the time Seller Performance marks the case as answered and ignoring forcing me to open a new one. They're absolute slimy *******s.

Ok, so what to do after the block? Can I open another shop and upload same docs all over again or I should forget about this IP and docs and start from the scratch? Please advice. Thanks.

The initial verification you only have 1-3 chances on average

If you are talking about utility/business license they usually give you more opportunities before they stop responding

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Initial verification is not that difficult to pass, its all about the second

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

When does the second occur? What does amazon ask for for the second verification?

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Straight after they open account/pass first verification then they will ask utility bill

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

The most common time is immediately after the first part of verification after launching shop

You'll see the request in the email and in the performance notifications

Not necessarily, sometimes after you hit 15k mark

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

That might of been true a few years ago but it’s not anymore

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

One account passed 15k years ago no reviews other than the first ones when signing up

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

This is crazy, just keep trying? I have an account that was purchased from you several years ago attached to a legitimate LLC that has been operating without any problems for a few years (0 ODR, no authenticity issues, etc). I just updated my expired credit card on August 1st and I got this same email and have been stuck in a "we were unable to verify" loop.

I sent them my internet bill twice (second time higher res better photo JPG than the first since they said it was illegible), then my electric bill (physical copy scanned in PDF this time). Both are my actual bills never used before with only the address changed to 100% match what's on file everywhere (Billing Address, Registered Address, Credit Card Address, Legal Entity). The bill has my LLC and address clearly listed.

Should I resubmit the electric bill in 5 separate JPGs for the 5 pages? What the hell do they want? Why did an account with no complaints or issues and a legit LLC for years get into this in the first place?

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Luckily you they only asked bill what if they ask ID? That will fail verification, seems like the bill never requested on your address in past and the card you added flag the Amazon system
Only way to send them what they asking

Hey buddy long time no talk, glad your shop lasted several years without issues. There is a risk these days for updating the card on file, that is why shops now have a 4-5 year VCC.

There's a few things you can do to avoid triggering this issue that is included in our updated guide. I got your email as well, I have already replied with additional info + tips/advice on how to resolve your issue

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Beautiful can you please share the tips you have I am having the same issue

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Which documents Amazon UK will ask after 15k mark for the UK LP except the utility bill? Also is there a way to give them edited bill?

Re: We were unable to verify the identity document you provided.
 

Business related documents depending on the business type you registered with
