Brand registry application rejected 3 times
I have been trying to register my brand on Amazon. They have rejected my application 3 times till now giving a generic reason
"This decision was made since we could not verify the registered business name and business identifier (e.g. tax ID number or business ID number) provided by you at the time submitting the Brand Registry enrollment form"
I have provided all the documents associated, and made sure the names are same. I even appealed once.
I see a lot of people are facing this issue. I have tried talking to their associates but looks like they are not yet knowledgeable in this area and they keep transferring my case to someone from brand registry via email. However, the email address doesn't accept any incoming emails. And there is no way for me to respond and ask more question to the brand registry associate.
So it has been a long back and forth game.
A little background information: I trademark my brand last year with USPTO, at this time my company was registered in India. This year I decided to register my company is US as well, to keep things streamlined. The owner's address(my address) in USPTO is my US address, But the company is still registered in India. My amazon sellers account is linked with my US company details. Can this be an issue? I asked an associate about this but she mentioned that brand registry and seller accounts are separate entities and it should not cause a problem
Has anyone been in this similar situation or just been rejected multiple times with the above reason, who can share their thoughts/suggestions?
@Jim_Amazon I see you have answered some issues very well. Can you help me?
Thanks!

Hi @Seller_41iEswOpOdynF
My name is Sandy from the Community manager team.
I've assisted a few sellers here on forums who had business verification issues. I first need to look at the submission and trademark details to confirm and investigate.
Would you please confirm if your case in question is case ID 17641480851? If yes, please attach documents in that case that provides your business registration number/Tax ID. Please do not upload them here on forums as this includes personal information.
Once you have uploaded them in the case, please let me know here and I will check.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sandy

Hi @Seller_41iEswOpOdynF
I have some follow ups below.
The business verification team cannot validate your business because there's conflicting information that is shown in the USPTO trademark details vs what you have submitted.
For example, the trademark shows an individual name as the owner, but in your submission you have a business name as the owner. The address is in PENNSYLVANIA but the documents you provided show the address is in India.
You mentioned that...
Do you have a business registration document in the US that matches what is shown in the trademark?
