How to Set Up an Amazon KDP Account in 10 Minutes (Step-By-Step)

About this video

A step-by-step walkthrough of creating an Amazon KDP account at kdp.amazon.com, including for people outside the US. Sean clicks Join KDP, enters name, email and password (noting the KDP email need not match the Amazon account email), completes the captcha and email verification code, and adds a mobile number for two-step verification — he says he uses a Google Voice number, which he describes as a $10 one-time payment. In Your Account, identity details must match a government ID exactly (legal name, address, date of birth, phone), or verification can fail and the account can be lost; for an LLC or S-corp, enter the authorized representative’s details. He explains choosing Individual if there is no company versus Corporation for a company, and warns there is only one KDP account per entity — he advises against creating multiple accounts to spread risk, saying Amazon can find linked accounts, and notes the exception he used himself: he says he sold his first KDP account for $820,000 and then created a new one under a new company. For payment, enter bank details if the country is listed; if not, he recommends Wise (formerly TransferWise) to get bank details usable for KDP, and advises matching personal/company bank accounts to the registration to avoid co-mingling funds. Finally he completes the tax questionnaire — Individual includes sole proprietors and most disregarded LLCs, Business for S-corps/C-corps; US citizens enter an SSN or EIN, non-US citizens enter citizenship and permanent address — with a disclaimer that he is not a tax professional. Sales can then be checked under Reports.

Key takeaways

• Sign up at kdp.amazon.com via Join KDP, then complete email verification and two-step verification with a mobile number
• Identity details must match your government ID exactly, even when registering under a company — enter the authorized representative
• Only one KDP account per entity; the creator advises against multiple risk-spreading accounts and says Amazon can find them
• If your country is not listed for payment, use Wise bank details; keep personal and company bank accounts aligned with the registration
• Complete the tax questionnaire as Individual (including sole proprietors/disregarded LLCs) or Business, entering SSN/EIN for US citizens
