A US LLC and matching documents for Amazon FBA sellers

No. Amazon lets individuals and non-US companies register and sell on Amazon US. Many international sellers still form a US LLC so they have a US company, an EIN, US payment options and one consistent set of US documents behind the store. Registate forms your LLC or C-Corp and gets your EIN 100% remotely, with no SSN required.

The combination of the Office Lease and the Utility Bill from the VoIP service is designed to meet Amazon's address verification process. Amazon makes the final decision and can ask for more information, so we can't guarantee approval; what we make sure of is that your company name and address are the same on every document you upload.

Amazon's registration guide lists a government-issued ID, a bank or credit card statement, a chargeable credit card, phone number and tax information. If you register as a company, you also give your business registration details and address. Amazon may then ask for a live video call or a selfie with your ID. Requirements can differ by country and account, so follow what Seller Central shows you.

Amazon's registration guide asks for statements issued within the last 180 days. The name and address on them must match what you enter in Seller Central, and the scan must be a full, readable colour copy. Screenshots, cropped pages and edited files are usually rejected.

Usually not as your business address. A registered agent address is for legal correspondence, and banks and platforms typically don't accept it as a principal place of business. Mailbox addresses can be identified as such. Use your office lease address as the business address and keep the mailbox for receiving mail.

You meet an Amazon associate online and show your original ID and the documents you uploaded. Join from a quiet place with your passport and the PDFs from your Registate dashboard at hand, and make sure the details you say match the details on the documents.

Amazon may mail a postcard with a code to your business address. Mail at your Registate address arrives in your dashboard, where you can request a scan to read it from anywhere, then enter the code in Seller Central before it expires.

No. With FBA, Amazon receives customer returns at its own fulfillment centers. Removal orders and supplier shipments need a US receiving address such as a warehouse, prep center or 3PL. Your office lease and mailbox are for your business address and mail, not inventory.

Amazon pays out to bank accounts in supported countries and offers a currency converter for others. Many sellers use a receiving account with US account details, such as Payoneer. Registate is a Payoneer Affiliate Partner: you apply in your own name or your company's name, we guide the application, and Payoneer makes the decision.

In US states with marketplace facilitator laws, Amazon calculates, collects and remits sales tax on your Amazon sales. Your own filing duties depend on your company and where you have obligations, so check with a tax professional. Registate keeps your company compliant with reminders for annual reports, franchise tax, BOI and Form 5472.

Company formation can be completed in as little as 24 hours. Once you sign up and provide your company details, the lease agreement is typically generated and signed within 24-48 hours. How long Amazon's own review takes is up to Amazon.
