Amazon Brand Registry in India: Step-by-Step Guide
Amazon Brand Registry in India requires an active or pending trademark registered with the Indian Trademark Registry (or another accepted IP office), a few product images and a company logo, and enrollment through Amazon's Brand Registry portal — most applications are approved within a few days once the trademark is verified. Once enrolled, you unlock A+ Content, Sponsored Brands ads, Brand Store, and stronger protection against listing hijacking. Here's the full eligibility, document, and process breakdown.

What Amazon Brand Registry Actually Unlocks
- A+ Content — enhanced listing pages with rich images and comparison charts, which typically improve conversion rate
- Sponsored Brands & Sponsored Display ads — ad formats unavailable to non-registered sellers
- Brand Store — a dedicated storefront on Amazon for your brand
- Proactive brand protection tools — easier reporting and faster takedown of counterfeit or unauthorized listings
- Priority in listing disputes — registered brands get stronger standing when disputing unauthorized sellers on their listings
Eligibility Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Trademark status | Registered or pending with the Indian Trademark Registry (or another Amazon-accepted IP office) |
| Trademark type | Text-based (word mark) or image-based (design mark) — both are eligible |
| Brand assets | Company logo, product images showing the brand on packaging |
| Amazon Seller account | An active, non-suspended Seller Central account in good standing |
Note: A pending trademark application is generally accepted for enrollment, but you'll need the application details and filing proof — you don't have to wait for full registration to start the process, which can otherwise take months in India.
Step-by-Step Enrollment Process
- File or confirm your trademark with the Indian Trademark Registry if you haven't already — note your application number if it's still pending.
- Go to the Amazon Brand Registry portal and start a new enrollment using your Seller Central credentials.
- Enter brand details — brand name exactly as it appears on your trademark, along with the associated product category.
- Submit trademark information — registration/application number, the IP office (India), and supporting documentation.
- Upload brand assets — logo and images showing the brand name/logo physically on your product or packaging.
- Verification call or code — Amazon may call the trademark office contact number on file to confirm ownership before approving.
- Enrollment approval — once verified, you gain access to Brand Registry tools, typically within a few business days.
Common Reasons Brand Registry Applications Get Delayed
- Brand name mismatch — the name entered doesn't exactly match what's on the trademark certificate or application
- Product images without visible branding — Amazon needs to see the logo/brand name physically present on the product or packaging, not just in a design file
- Using a design/logo mark when your trademark is word-only, or vice versa — the registered mark type needs to align with what you're enrolling
- Unreachable verification contact — if Amazon can't reach the phone number on file with the trademark office, verification stalls

Get Brand Registry SupportFrequently Asked Questions
Can I get Amazon Brand Registry with a pending trademark in India?
Yes — Amazon generally accepts a pending trademark application for enrollment, as long as you provide the application number and filing details. You don't need to wait for full registration, which can take months.
How long does Amazon Brand Registry approval take in India?
Once your trademark is verified, approval typically takes a few business days. The main variable is how quickly Amazon can verify your trademark details with the relevant IP office.
Do I need a registered company to apply for Brand Registry?
You need an active Amazon Seller Central account and a trademark registered (or pending) in the same brand name — the trademark can be held by an individual or a registered business entity.
What's the difference between a word mark and a design mark for Brand Registry?
A word mark protects the brand name as text; a design mark protects a specific logo or stylized design. Both are eligible for Brand Registry, but your enrollment needs to match the type of trademark you actually hold.
