Does Amazon Brand Registry provide Global Trade Item Numbers (GTIN/UPC/EAN/ISBN) exemption for my products?
Brand Registry does not provide GTIN Exemptions. 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.

You indicated that you’re a new customer, but an account already exists with the email you are trying to register.
This error indicates there is an existing account associated with the email address you are using to create a new Brand Registry account. You must use your Seller Central or Vendor Central account credentials when creating your Brand Registry account to ensure those accounts have access to the exclusive set of brand benefit tools available to brand owners.
If you plan to create a Seller Central or Vendor Central account with the credentials that you used to sign in to Brand Registry, please create that account first. Then, enroll in Brand Registry using the same credentials so that we can link the accounts. If you don't plan to create either of these accounts, continue with the Brand Registry enrollment process.
This error indicates that one of these items is true:
- You’ve created a Seller or Vendor account, but aren’t currently signed in to that account. You must be signed in to your Seller or Vendor account and then sign in to Brand Registry using the same credentials.
- You haven’t created or don’t want to create a Seller or Vendor account at this time. If that is the case, restart the enrollment process using the email you used to create a Brand Registry account. If you decide to create a Seller or Vendor account in the future, contact us to connect the account as a user to your Brand Registry account.
- Please note that using your Seller Central or Vendor Central account credentials when creating your Brand Registry account grants you access to the exclusive set of brand benefit tools available to Selling Partners in Amazon Brand Registry.
When I was trying to add additional users to my brands through "User Permissions", the new users received a message that the request cannot be completed because they have been involved in abusive conduct.
- The user should review their performance by logging in to Seller Central, go to “Performance”, select Performance Notifications, and work with Selling Partner Support to resolve the account-related issues. If their selling account is currently deactivated, they may appeal the action taken by clicking the “Reactivate your account” button in Account Health. This should be checked for all accounts in all stores.
- If the user does not have a selling account or if the selling account of the new user is in active status, as the brand owner you can appeal by completing the form provided in the initial rejection message.
The trademark number you entered is in the incorrect format.
If you received this error message on the Brand enrollment page, please ensure you are correctly entering the trademark registration number before trying again. You can review the country-specific enrollment guidelines for your Brand Registry application here.
The trademark number you entered cannot be found for the trademark office you selected.
If you received this error message on the Brand enrollment page, please verify that the correct trademark registration number has been entered and select the correct trademark office before trying again.

Manage Brand Registry users
Is it possible for agents that represent a brand, as well as additional users, to get access to Amazon Brand Registry?
Yes. Once a rights owner has enrolled a brand in Brand Registry, they are assigned the roles of Rights Owner and Administrator. The administrator can then add or remove users by logging in to their Brand Registry account and selecting “User permissions” under “Settings.” Please note that additional users will need to create their own Brand Registry account, which can be created using their existing Vendor or Seller Central credentials.
- To manage existing users: Click “Manage” next to each user and grant roles to the user or remove the roles from the user under your selected brands.
- The email address associated with the current rights owner’s Brand Registry account.
For more information about Brand Registry roles, please log in to your Brand Registry account and visit the Help section or watch this video: Manage Amazon Brand Registry roles.
How do I access my brand if the current Brand Registry Rights Owner is either inactive or no longer with the company, or I have purchased the brand from another company?
Contact us to get help accessing your brand if the current Brand Registry Rights Owner with Administrator role is no longer with the company, or you have purchased the brand from another company.
Ensure that there are no other active administrators under the brand. If there are other active administrators, you will need to contact them and request access. If you have purchased the brand from the previous owner, please make sure the intended brand’s trademark record reflects the ownership change.

I am having trouble logging in or accessing my brands. What should I do?
If your brand is already enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry, but you do not see any of your enrolled brands when logged in to your Brand Registry account, you may have logged in using the wrong email and password. Sign out of your existing Amazon account, and sign in to Brand Registry again using the correct email and password. If you forgot your password, you can reset your password by going through the password assistance process. If Two-Step Verification fails and you can't access your account, you can try to recover your account.
