Why Brazilian Amazon Affiliates Need a US ITIN
- Amazon Associates tax interview — Amazon requires W-8BEN with ITIN for non-US affiliate marketers.
- Commission withholding — Without ITIN on file, Amazon withholds a portion of affiliate commissions.
- Multiple Amazon marketplaces — Promoting products across amazon.com, amazon.ca, and amazon.co.uk each requires W-8BEN.
- Content creator compliance — Brazilian bloggers, YouTubers, and influencers using Amazon affiliate links need ITIN.
- Annual W-8BEN renewal — Amazon requires W-8BEN renewal every 3 years; your ITIN must remain active.
⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.
Amazon Associates & ITIN for Brazilians
Thousands of Brazilian bloggers, YouTubers, and content creators monetize their audiences through the Amazon Associates program. Amazon treats affiliate commissions as US-source income and requires all non-US affiliates to complete a tax interview with a W-8BEN form — which requires an ITIN.
The process is straightforward once you have your ITIN: log into your Amazon Associates account, complete the tax interview, enter your ITIN when prompted, and submit your W-8BEN. Amazon then applies the correct withholding rate to your commissions. ITIN Plus gets Brazilian Amazon affiliates their ITIN in 8–14 weeks.
