How we know · policy checked on November 13, 2026
Amazon's seller identity verification accepts documents in 17 languages, English among them.
A document in any other language, such as a Ukrainian bank statement, a Georgian business extract or a Khmer ID card, must be uploaded together with a notarized translation into one of those languages. eVerbary makes a certified English translation of every page, stamps and seals included, and adds notarization at checkout.
We do not contact Amazon, and only Amazon decides whether your account is verified.
Amazon at a glance
Does it accept eVerbary? Yes, notarized
Amazon asks that documents be in one of 17 languages and, if they are not, that "you must submit a notarized translation in an accepted language along with the original document" (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
A certified English translation from eVerbary with notarization meets that wording. Policy checked on November 13, 2026.

Worth knowing about Amazon
17 languages read as they are
English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese and nine more need no translation.
Notarized, not just certified
For any other language Amazon asks for a notarized translation.
Original goes too
The translation is uploaded along with the original document, not instead of it.
Amazon requirements in detail
Accepted languages
Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
Other languages
A notarized translation into an accepted language, submitted along with the original document (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
What is verified
A government-issued photo ID of the person registering the account, business verification documents, and a proof of address (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
Business documents
Issued by a government-authorized agency within the past 180 days, showing the issuer, the business name, the registration number and the date of issue; for example a certificate of good standing, a business license or an official registry extract (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
Proof of address
A bank or credit card statement, utility bill, lease, mortgage statement or tax document showing the issuer, your name or your business name, your full address and the date; it cannot be handwritten (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
File rules
A scan or phone photo of the original, complete, in color for IDs, under 50MB, in TIF, PNG, JPG, JPEG or PDF, not password-protected, authentic and unaltered (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
Amazon Japan
On Amazon.co.jp, documents other than the passport must be in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese or Spanish; other languages need a notarized translation into one of them (Amazon.co.jp: identity verification FAQ, in Japanese (sell.amazon.co.jp)).
Ongoing checks in Europe
Amazon's UK verification-compliance guide says you may need to submit officially translated documents if they are not in a supported language (Sell on Amazon UK: verification compliance process guide (sell.amazon.co.uk)).
Which documents need the translation
Only the documents that are not in one of Amazon's 17 languages (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
A Spanish company registry extract, a Turkish tax certificate or a Japanese bank statement goes up as it is.
A Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian, Greek, Korean, Hebrew, Persian or Indonesian document does not, because none of those languages is on the list, so it needs a notarized translation.
The list is for the US help page; Amazon Japan reads a shorter list of eight languages for documents other than the passport (Amazon.co.jp: identity verification FAQ, in Japanese (sell.amazon.co.jp)).
The passport usually needs nothing: it already carries the holder's details in Latin characters.
The documents that most often need a translation are the ones about the business and the address: registry extracts, certificates of good standing, tax certificates, bank statements and utility bills.
Each must be complete, so a translation covers every page you upload, including stamps, seals and footnotes.
Notarized means more than certified
Amazon's English page asks for a "notarized translation" (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
An eVerbary certified translation comes with a signed certificate of translation accuracy; notarization, added at checkout for $34.90 per order, adds a notary public's confirmation of who signed that certificate. Choose notarization when you order a translation for Amazon.
Amazon's business documents must also be recent: issued within the past 180 days (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification). Translate the document you will actually upload.
A translation of an older extract does not help if Amazon rejects the extract itself for its date, and we translate the document exactly as issued, without changing names, numbers or dates.
Need a certified translation for Amazon?
$24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents people usually translate
- Business registry extract or certificate of good standing

What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload or print.
- $24.95 per page with no word cap, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
- Notarization added at checkout ($34.90 per order) when the office asks for a notarized translation.
Submitting the translation to Amazon
Upload the original document and the notarized translation together, in the verification step of Seller Central; Amazon asks for the translation "along with the original document" (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
If the upload field takes one file, combine the original and the translation into one PDF.
Keep the file under 50MB, in PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG or TIF, without special characters such as $, & or # in the file name, and not password-protected (Amazon Seller Central: global seller identity, address, and business verification).
Check that the name and details you entered in Seller Central match the document. The translation renders names as printed on the document; tell us in the order notes if your passport spells your name differently, and we follow the passport spelling.
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service: we translate the documents you choose to upload, we do not contact the platform for you, and we cannot tell you whether your account will be approved — that decision is the platform's.
For Amazon that means we translate and notarize the documents you upload to us; the verification itself, its timing and its outcome are Amazon's.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and submit it with the copy of the original wherever the office asks for it.
