Pre-enrollment

What information is required to enroll a brand in Amazon Brand Registry?

Currently, to enroll a brand in Brand Registry, you must provide the following information:

• Brand name that has an active registered trademark.
• The associated government-registered trademark number. We currently only accept trademarks that have been issued by government trademark offices in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, India, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Brand Registry is not affiliated with any of these offices; please do not contact them for information about Brand Registry.

• If you are not a seller or vendor on Amazon, the contact details of an attorney or notary who is prepared to guarantee to us that you are the trademark owner.
• A list of product categories (e.g., apparel, sporting goods, electronics) in which the brand should be listed.
• A list of countries where the brand’s products are manufactured.

I am an Amazon Seller/Vendor who enrolled a brand in Amazon Brand Registry prior to April 30, 2017. Do I need to re-enroll?

Does Amazon Brand Registry provide Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN) exemption for my products?

Brand Registry does not provide GTIN Exemption. Sellers can apply for GTIN Exemption through Seller Central. If your product is already listed on Amazon, you can list your offer on the existing product detail page and do not need to provide a GTIN. If your product is not listed on Amazon, you need to request a GTIN exemption. To learn how to list your offer, see Product Detail Pages and Offers. Please note that this link requires a Seller Central login.

Is it possible for agents that represent a brand to get access to Amazon Brand Registry?

Yes. Once a rights owner has enrolled a brand in Brand Registry and accepted our terms and conditions, the user can submit a request to add additional representatives of that brand, including agents. Please note that all users will need to have their own Brand Registry login credentials. The rights owner can begin the process of adding additional representatives by logging into their account and contacting our Brand Registry Support team.

Post-enrollment

How can I check the status of my application?
