Anybody try the Letter of Authorization for the contact person?

I've got a couple of stealths in EU(I'm in the US). They have valid EIN's but Amazon wants utility bills and an ID for the contact person, which I do not have for the registered name because its ⊗⊗⊗⊗.

I was told in writing the contact person could be my account rep at my fulfillment company and that utility bills from there would suffice....Could this be a safe way to get by the ID requirement, have legit info and ID on an EU account but still be stealth? This person would be on multiple accounts but its not unheard of for a fulfillment company to manage all aspects of fulfillment including customer inquiries.

In reality the ID would be my real ID and the utility bills would be from one of our old locations that we are no longer at with the date modified. Unlike some of us, my real info was never banned from amazon. I started out stealth from the start 8 years ago.

You seem to have a fairly unique problem. Hopefully someone will chime in who has experienced this.

But your plan, IF it is true what was emailed to you seems like it should work. However, the question comes up, is Amazon aware that you are not located in the EU?

Need to be careful of what EU platforms are involved.

They know we're not in the EU. The accounts have US addresses. I'm basically hoping I can clear the ID request using my own ID on two accounts to create the illusion that both accounts are using the same person as the contact point in a fulfillment center. If it is reasonable or the accounts got in trouble the contact person should not link the two accounts.

Just thought I would post on the progress of confirming ID in UK. The verification process is ridiculous. I managed to get my contact person changed to my own information and submitted letters of authorization. I'm uploading legitimate real documents to verify the business and they are still getting denied. They are asking for a redonkulas amount of stuff and requirements.

For the business they want articles of incorp(not a problem), certificate of good standing with the business address on it(slight problem) and a utility bill with the business name and address(problem). The problem is our legitimate LLC is registered as a holding company by a registered agent. Essentially the business has no physical location so I have no utility bill. Its registered to a legit UPS mail box. In addition it is registered in Wyoming and their Certificates of Good Standing as provided by the state do not include the business address...I guess I could probably just photoshop this in somehow. They don't seem to want to accept a utility bill for the contact person(who is supposed to be the fulfillment rep and location).

Lastly I have submitted my Calilfornia ID and they cant verify me. LOL. What information are they looking for? They asked for my birth certificate now. I wonder if they are looking for an SSN, although they won't say. As a contact person this should not need to be provided. A SSN should only be for tax based purposes.

The most frustrating part is I submit and then wait 24 hours for them to deny me. LOL. Its like 12 days into this process...If they just said something like..We need proof of SSN it would be so much easier. Seller Support is worthless..They just offer to send your information to the verification department...Thanks but I could have done that.
