This

After
January 2026, Amazon requires
notarized W-9 with wet signature scan → 100 % dead.
You have
30–45 days max to generate and upload these while the system still accepts typed signatures.
Stock 200–300 W-9s now. After Q1 2026, even this dies forever.
Create, upload, vanish. The end is here.
