How to Change Billing Address on Amazon – (App & Desktop)

Amazon gives you the flexibility to change your billing address at any time but there are some exceptions. In this article, you will see how to change the billing address on Amazon desktop and mobile app.

I will also take you through a few related pieces of information like, can you change the billing address once the order is placed?

But before everything, I think it’s important to clarify the difference between the billing address and the shipping address.

Billing Address in Amazon – The billing address is the address on which your debit or credit card is registered. Amazon will generate a bill on the same billing address.

So basically this is a kind of your permanent address where you live.

Shipping Address in Amazon – The shipping address is the address that you specify at the time of order and instruct amazon to deliver the product to that address.

When to Change Billing Address

I am sure you may have your own reason to change your Amazon billing address and that is the reason you are here.

But there can be many other circumstances where you should change your billing address.

• You are purchasing something from Amazon on behalf of your friends, colleagues, or relatives.
• Your billing address is different on the debit or credit card.
• Recently moved to new location or house.

These are a few major circumstances where you must change your billing address.  You may need to enter your routing number and account details in case you add a checking account of a bank like HarborOne.

At the same time keep the shipping address also in your mind where you want the order to be delivered.

 

Does Amazon Verify Billing Address

Amazon always keeps customer security on priority and so there are many circumstances where you will have to verify your billing address.

If you place an order on Amazon with your friend, relative or colleague card you may receive an email from Amazon to verify the billing address of the card through which you have placed the order.

Now, this is for security purposes where Amazon wants to assure that there is no fraudulent transaction.

Amazon may ask you to submit the following documents of the card owner.

• Complete Address of the Owner
• ID Proof
• Address Proof (that contains the billing address)

You need to submit these all documents within a time frame decided by Amazon or else your account will get suspended.

NOTE:- Be careful and verify that the email you have received is from Amazon only. You can also call Amazon customer support in order to recheck.
