Proof of Address - registered business address is my accountants
I am trying to get my account verified however I do not have any of the proof of address documents that Amazon ask for as my Ltd company registered address is my accountants address.
All my business documentation, bank statements etc, all have my trading address on them, which is my home address.
Anyone else had this situation and can advise?
Thanks

No, I was suggesting that you might be able to submit the accounts as proof of your business address. Amazon do check the CH records but I’m not sure if they actually look at the accounts - it may just be the incorporation certificate etc

Why can’t you register your company at your own address ?

Have you actually uploaded any documents yet? Including the ones from Companies House - Amazon will check their records and can see that your home address is on them as well as your registered address

The accounts for your company are on the CH website. Page 3 of the latest ones show two addresses - registered and business

Ok, thanks. But that’s not a document I have submitted - the documents I have submitted do not have my home address on.
Have I misunderstood what they are asking for? I have so far submitted Company Snapshot and the original incorporation documents. Am I missing something?
And if my home address is detailed within the documents I submit, does that mean I can use my business bank statement with my home address on, as the proof of address?
Really appreciate the help

Ah! I see, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying. I will try that alongside my bank statement and see if it is approved. If not, I guess I will need to change my registered address. Thanks for your help/

Just to let you know, they seem to have accepted the accounts at the proof of address (alongside my business bank account with my home address on). Thanks!
Just struggling with the Statutes documents now haha

That’s good news
They are the model articles that you can download from here
then attach them into a single pdf with your Incorporation certificate - the very first document on your CH record, on page 2 when you look at the Overview screen

I’d add the other beneficial owner first though !

Just those two documents? they don’t need CAR or CS01 or anything else like that?
