Secondary User Amazon account Verification
Hello,
I personally have an Amazon seller account in the USA and EU registered and I am an active seller.
Now I am helping one company to register and set up their Amazon account first in EU then in USA.
They added me as an authorized user and I received an invite by email. Now Amazon is asking for all my information. Passport ,address etc so they can submit in their Seller central.
Do they really need this information? I am afraid it can harm my personal account somehow? Because then my personal information is submitted twice in their system.
I used another email for the “agent” roll then my login to my personal seller central.
Please help.

Yes. It’s standard practice.
Possibly.

So how do people solve this problem? It must be very common?

This is normal and I was told by an amazon rep when doing the same thing as you, to use another email as you have for your “agent” account.
I was also told generally its best practice to grant access to the agent account to your seller account also and mainly use the agent account when possible even for your own seller account if that makes sense.
It is my believe that a primary email address on a seller account can no longer be granted permissions on another amazon seller account hence the need for the use of another email.

Well this didnt make anything clearer. This is what I mean. Some people say its fine other not.

It is probably fine up until the point one of the accounts is suspended then you’ll most likely lose yours too

So how about becoming an agent for the brand registry login?
Is that same “dangerous” or is it not that strict?
- Administrator: An individual who has full permission to assign roles to user accounts.
- Rights Owner: An individual who is the rights owner or an employee of the rights owner who is authorized to report violations.
- Registered Agent: A third party who is authorized by the rights owner to report violations.

Yes, it’s to do with Amazon Payments Sarl / UK verifying every person approved on the account to prevent money laundering. If you are given permissions to manage refunds, then photographic proof of address and passport is required in addition. Requirement of the financial systems in the EU and UK (still).
That’s why it’s not required in the US, their financial regulations do not yet require it. But never say never.
