Identity verification has become one of the strictest and most error-prone parts of Amazon’s compliance process. In 2023–2024, Amazon increased the number of KYC (Know Your Customer) and reverification checks, resulting in a significant rise in suspensions related to identity document issues. According to industry data, over 25–30% of new Amazon seller accounts experience delays or deactivation due to verification inconsistencies, even when the documents are 100% legitimate.
Amazon uses automated systems, OCR scanning, and metadata analysis to validate documents. As a result, perfectly authentic files can be flagged as “manipulated,” “altered,” or “inconsistent” due to:
For many sellers, this results in immediate account deactivation, frozen payouts, and an urgent need to submit a successful Amazon Seller Account Reinstatement appeal.
This case study showcases exactly how we helped a client reinstate Amazon seller account from one of the most challenging suspension types — failed identity verification due to allegedly manipulated documents.
Amazon seller contacted us after his Amazon account was deactivated for failing the identity verification check. Amazon explicitly stated that the documents he submitted were “manipulated”, which is one of the most serious accusations in Amazon compliance.
The seller attempted to reinstate the account independently. He submitted valid, original documents multiple times to prove his identity. However, Amazon repeatedly rejected his appeals, insisting the documents were inauthentic.
This placed the seller in a difficult position:
This is a typical situation — nearly 70% of identity verification cases we receive involve multiple failed appeals before the seller contacts us.
Expert Tip: Avoid sending multiple rushed appeals. Repeated, unstructured submissions can reduce your chances of a human review and prolong the reinstatement process. Instead, work with reinstatement professionals and start with one strong, well-prepared appeal to stay out of Amazon’s auto-rejection loop.
We began with a detailed audit of everything the client had previously submitted. Our investigation revealed several issues that, while minor, could trigger Amazon’s automated detection system:
This confirmed that the problem wasn’t the seller’s legitimacy — it was the presentation of the documents, the technical format, and the lack of structured explanation in his appeals.
Expert Insight: Identity verification suspensions are often caused by formatting, not fraud. Amazon’s system flags inconsistencies automatically, and unless the seller explains them proactively, the appeal will be rejected.
To resolve the suspension efficiently and confidently, we implemented a structured, multi-step reistatement strategy:
We inspected every file for potential triggers:
We identified exactly what Amazon’s system was likely flagging.
We guided the client step-by-step:
We prepared a well-structured Amazon appeal that:
After two structured submissions, Amazon changed its response and asked the seller to book a video verification interview — a strong sign that the appeal was convincing.
Many sellers fail this step due to lack of preparation. We ensured it wouldn’t happen here.
We prepared the client with:
Expert Tip: The success rate of video verification increases significantly when the seller is prepared. Most failures happen because sellers are caught off guard by Amazon’s questions.
Thanks to proper preparation, the seller passed the video verification on the first attempt. Shortly after the call:
The client regained full access to Seller Central and resumed operations without additional delays.
A happy Amazon seller shared his positive feedback after working with the Mr. Jeff AMZ team.
Even real documents can be flagged if they do not meet Amazon’s strict technical standards.
Each rejected appeal reduces credibility. A strong, professionally structured submission is critical.
Amazon expects clarity, consistency, and confidence.
Over 80% of identity verification suspensions we handle are resolved within one or two submissions, compared to weeks or months of failed attempts by sellers.
Avoid screenshots, low-resolution scans, JPEG files, and anything exported through editing tools.
