Amazon Utility Bill Verification: How To Get a Utility Bill For Amazon
To get a utility bill for Amazon verification, you’ll need a legitimate utility statement from an approved provider such as electricity, water, gas, or internet service. The bill must be less than 60 days old and show your name and address matching your Amazon account details.
How to Get a Utility Bill for Amazon
Getting a utility bill for Amazon verification can be done through a Virtual Office service like Start in Wyoming. Our virtual office works like having a physical office. You can contract an internet service provider to the office and they will provide a utility bill.

Amazon Utility Bill Requirements
For successful utility bill verification on Amazon, you’ll need to meet specific document requirements that align with the platform’s standards.
Your utility bill must be from the past 60 days and include both your name and address matching exactly what’s listed on your seller account.
Amazon accepts several types of utility bills for verification purposes:
- Basic utilities – gas, electricity, water, or internet
- Accepted formats – .png, .tiff, .tif, .jpg, .jpeg, and .pdf. (We recommend PDF)
- Required information – the utility bill must match the information you provided in your Amazon Seller Central account settings
Make sure your submitted documents are completely legible with no clipped edges or poor scanning quality.
Your utility bill must display consistent information with other verification documents you’ve submitted.
If there’s a mismatch, you’ll need to update your account information before proceeding with the verification process.
Common Verification Issues
The most frequent issues stem from document discrepancies and processing delays.
Common issues to watch for:
- Mismatched information between utility bills and seller registration details
- Blurry or incomplete document scans
- Documents in non-English languages
- File sizes exceeding 10MB
- Incorrect file formats
- Expired or outdated documents
- Avoid special characters in filenames (examples: $, &, or #)
If you’re experiencing delays, contact Amazon’s seller support team to check your verification status. You’ll receive a “Thank you for your request” message after uploading documents.
Monitor your email for updates from Amazon regarding verification progress. Remember that processing times can extend beyond standard timeframes due to high verification request volumes.
Special Considerations for Non-U.S. Residents
Non-residents will often have stricter regulations for opening and maintaining Amazon Seller Central accounts. We highly recommend non-residents set up a U.S. LLC to make the process easier.
If you don’t have an LLC, our Wyoming LLC Formation includes everything you need to start and maintain an account for Amazon FBA.
If you already have an Amazon account, our Wyoming virtual office with utility bill gives you a way to secure yourself from account verification.
Can I Verify Without a Utility Bill?
A utility bill is not always required for opening an Amazon account. Although, it’s typically more common for non-residents.
However, the Amazon utility verification request is likely to come at some point. Your account must be prepared because falling to corporate can result in suspended accounts.
