I want to update my ‘Business Address’ on my Amazon US seller account, and Amazon will send a postcard to the new address containing a verification code.
To do so, Amazon requires to specify the ‘Recipient Name’, who is the person who will receive the postcard (please see the attached screenshot).
I should contact my Registered Agent to give me the name of the person who will receive the postcard? Or I can just put in my name, as this field does not matter?
Also, for the phone number (they might use it when they deliver the postcard), can I simply put in mine or should I get the number of the recipient person?
You do not need to contact your Registered Agent for this, and in practice you can safely enter your own name as the recipient name because Amazon only uses this field for postal delivery identification rather than legal verification, and the postcard is not matched against corporate records.
What matters is that the address itself is valid, can receive mail, and that someone at that location can physically access the postcard and relay the code to you. For the phone number, you can use your own number as well, as it is rarely used by the postal service and is mainly there in case Amazon needs a contact reference, but if the address is serviced by a third party such as a mail forwarding service or registered office, it is still acceptable to use your own phone number rather than that of a receptionist or agent.
Many sellers successfully verify their business address this way on Amazon without involving their registered agent at all, as long as the postcard can be received and the code entered promptly.
