verificationidentity verificationdocument verificationbank accountgovernment-issued ID

What Amazon wants to see in your Root Cause section

The Root Cause section is where most appeals fail. Amazon does not want excuses — they want you to identify the specific internal process that broke down.

Focus your root cause on:

Identify which document failed and why: expired document, name mismatch, low-resolution scan, or bank account inconsistency.

Corrective Actions Amazon expects

These must be written in past tense — actions you have already completed, not promises.

  • Obtain the specific document that failed — ensure it matches the account name exactly

  • Re-submit with a high-resolution scan (minimum 300 DPI)

  • Ensure name on all documents matches the account registration name exactly

Preventive Measures Amazon expects

These are the ongoing processes that demonstrate you will not reoffend. They must be specific and measurable — not vague promises.

  • Maintain business registration documents, renewed annually

  • Keep legal name, address, and bank account consistent across all Amazon records

  • Annual review to verify all documents on file are current

Common mistakes that get identity / business verification failure appeals rejected

  • Re-submitting the same failed document without understanding why

  • Name mismatches between government ID and business registration
