Marketplace Seller ID Checks: INFORM Act Survival Kit

The INFORM Act Is Here

New law means mandatory seller ID checks. If you sell online, you need this survival kit.

Step 1: Verify Your Government ID

You will need a passport or driver’s license. The marketplace needs to match your face to your business.

Step 2: Confirm Bank Account Details

Your payout account must match your business name. If there is a mismatch, your funds get frozen.

Step 3: Tax Information On File

You must have a valid tax ID or SSN. No exceptions. Get this right before the deadline hits.

Step 4: A Working Phone & Email

Marketplaces require a direct contact method for customers. You cannot hide behind a contact form anymore.

Step 5: Display Your Address

If you sell a lot, your business address must be public. Check your marketplace settings to make sure it shows.

Step 6: Respond to Verification Requests

Do not ignore the emails. If you miss the deadline, the platform will suspend your store instantly.

Step 7: Check Your Suppliers Now

This law also affects your supply chain. If your supplier can't verify, you can't sell their items.
