A unique address (for the Amazon) is an address that has not yet been used for other accounts on Amazon. A unique address is required to create a new seller account on the platform. Amazon takes address verification seriously. If you provide Registered agent's address that is listed in your company documents, Amazon will immediately link your account to other accounts using the same address, since this address is public. In this case, your account is very likely to be banned (Related Account Ban) if there is a block of one of the accounts that your account will be linked to, which is one of the difficult problems to solve.
Unique addresses can be purchased on specialized services. In the USA, the purchase of such addresses is taken seriously and you will be required to notarize them. But don't worry, the process is quite simple and we will help you through all the steps of registration. Once you register your unique address, you will have full access to it. You will be able to manage your account yourself, view your incoming mail and decide which emails to open and scan.
A unique address is not a prerequisite for registering a company in the USA, but it provides a number of benefits when working on Amazon's marketplace.
How to put a unique address on company documents:
The 'Articles of Organization' document, which is issued when a company is registered, specifies three types of addresses:
- The address of the Registered agent (your representative).
- Mailing address (for correspondence).
- Physical address (the company's registered office).
These addresses may be the same or different. If you choose to use your unique address for company filing, it will be listed as your company's mailing and physical address. The address of the Registered agent must be in the same state where the company is incorporated, therefore will remain unchanged. Unlike other addresses, which can be in any state.
What to do if the company is registered and the address of the Registered agent is already listed as the address of the company?
If the address of the Registered agent is already used as your company address, you can change it if you wish.
You can also add a unique address to the state registry after the company is incorporated. To do so, file the appropriate application with the state (Amendment of Articles)where your company is registered (usually requires a physical letter in the mail). It is important to realize that the address is changed at the registry, online, however, the initial document will not be changed. Amendments of Articles are attached to the changes, which is a confirmation of the chain of changes.
Recommendations:
We strongly recommend that all customers registering USA companies to do business on Amazon use unique addresses. This will avoid problems with Amazon and protect your business.
