I compiled something for you.

To prove the physical operation of your business in the U.K. to Amazon, you can provide the following documents:

  1. Utility Bills: Recent utility bills (electricity, water, gas) in the name of your business showing the physical address.

  2. Lease Agreement: A copy of the lease agreement for your business premises.

  3. Business Rates Bill: A recent business rates bill from the local council.

  4. Business Insurance: Proof of business insurance covering the physical location.

  5. Company Registration Documents: Official documents from Companies House showing your registered address.

  6. Photos: Photos of your business premises, including signage and interior, to demonstrate active operations.

Make sure all documents are up-to-date and clearly show the business name and address.

What documentation should I provide?

If you operate a limited company or partnership:

  1. Provide evidence that you are physically operating your business from your provided address.

  2. Provide a company registration extract or share allotment document from your local trade registry that lists all directors or partners of your company.

  3. Provide documents that confirm the identity and place of residence of every director or partner who is listed in the company registration extract.

  4. Provide evidence of any employees who reside in the country of your stated country of business establishment.

If you are a sole trader (natural person):

  1. Provide evidence that you are physically operating your business from your provided address.
