KDP Identity verification issues circumvented
I completed my tax information on KDP 🎂, and all of a sudden it moved to ID verification.
This was not an issue before, but now that I have completed and filled out the infamous Form W-8BEN, it requires some ID.
This was a problem when filling in my address in Thailand for ID verification. Your identity information has to be the same as on your ID.
I changed it but then fell into the trap that the system used is based on US IDs, and apparently they have an address on them, which Dutch IDs don't.
I bypassed this issue by using my parents' address, which I have used in situations like this before (e.g., with my Dutch bank).
The next problem was that my ID had a different name than Your Identity. My name is First Name Last Name. On our IDs (passport, driver's licence, etc.) we have Last Name, First Name.
So now I have a new name in Your Identity; I hope that does not show up somewhere else. 😃
Sidenote: Thanks to the double-tax treaty between the USA and Thailand, my withholding tax is not 30% but only 5%. 🙏
I hope this information helps others.
