Overview

Amazon Seller Wallet is a financial service that allows marketplace sellers to hold, manage, and transfer their sales proceeds in multiple currencies. For sellers based in Canada, the registration process involves verifying personal and business information in compliance with financial regulations. Understanding what documents and details are required upfront can help Canadian sellers complete the enrollment process smoothly and avoid delays.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Identity and business verification is mandatory — Amazon is legally required to verify your personal and business information before granting access to Seller Wallet. This applies to all Canadian sellers regardless of business size.
• Multiple documents may be requested — Expect to provide business registration extracts, proof-of-identity documents, proof-of-address documents, and potentially a letter of authorization and share allotment documentation.
• All beneficial owners must be disclosed — Anyone with significant ownership or control over the business must be identified during registration, and each beneficial owner may need to provide identity and address verification.
• The point of contact matters — If the person registering on behalf of the business is not the legal representative, a signed letter of authorization from the legal representative is required.
• Individual sellers have fewer requirements — Solo sellers operating as individuals are not required to provide share allotment or equity documentation, simplifying the process somewhat.

Required Documents for Registration

Canadian sellers should prepare several categories of documentation before starting the Seller Wallet registration process. A business extract serves as the primary proof-of-business existence, confirming that your company is legally registered and operational. You will also need proof-of-identity documents for both the designated point of contact and every beneficial owner associated with the business. Accepted identification typically includes government-issued photo ID such as a passport or driver's license. Additionally, proof-of-address documents are required for the business itself, the point of contact, and all beneficial owners — recent utility bills, bank statements, or official government correspondence are commonly accepted for this purpose.
