Ozon Account Activation Guide 2025

As a seasoned e-commerce operations expert with 5 years of experience in Ozon Global Selling, I have successfully managed multiple product categories and achieved Best Seller status. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the Ozon Account Activation process, including key challenges, underlying principles, practical solutions, and common pitfalls to avoid, all supported by real-world examples and the latest platform policies.

Problem Scenario: Delayed Account Activation Due to Incomplete Documentation

A Chinese seller from Guangdong, who started selling home appliances on Ozon, faced significant delays in account activation because the documentation submitted was incomplete or not in the required format. The seller had provided only a scanned copy of their business license, which was not accepted due to missing information such as company address and tax identification number.

• Document submission is critical for account activation on Ozon.
• Required documents include business license, tax registration certificate, bank statement, and personal ID.
• Ozon requires all documents to be in Russian or translated into Russian with certified translations.

Underlying Logic: Compliance and Verification Process

Ozon has strict compliance and verification procedures to ensure that all sellers are legitimate and meet local legal requirements. According to the official Ozon Seller Central policy (updated April 2024), "All sellers must submit complete and accurate documents during the account activation process. Failure to do so will result in account suspension or rejection."

• Compliance is essential for long-term success on the platform.
• Verification ensures that sellers operate within the legal framework of Russia.
• Non-compliant accounts risk being blocked or penalized.
