How to Handle ID Card Verification for New Amazon & Walmart Seller Accounts

[johansmith]

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of setting up a new seller account and hit a snag with the ID card verification step, which seems to be a common hurdle. I wanted to share some insights I gathered to help others avoid delays.

From what I've researched, the key is to ensure your government-issued ID (like a passport or driver's license) is not expired, un-cropped, and a high-quality photo—not a screenshot . Make sure your name on the ID matches your business registration exactly. If your submission goes to 'manual review,' it can take 1-3 business days, so don't panic and resubmit multiple times, as that can reset the queue . Hope this saves you some time and frustration
