Amazon's suspension notice for identity / business verification failure issues typically contains one or more of these phrases:
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.
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
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
Re-submitting the same failed document without understanding why
Name mismatches between government ID and business registration
