You might be thinking of a regular individual seller account or a professional seller account when you hear the term \u201cKDP method,\u201d but that is not the case. Seller Central and KDP are two distinct entities.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin: 0in; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-family: Poppins; color: #7a7a7a;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin: 0in; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-family: Poppins; color: #7a7a7a;\">For those who want to sell books digitally or in paperback through KDP, the typical seller account verification process, such as providing a utility bill or passport, is unnecessary.
