How To Change Country On Amazon?

First of all, sign in to the Amazon website using your account details.

Note: In this example, we will change to Amazon UK from Amazon USA. The steps are the same for any country/region.

Once you’ve logged in, click on Content & Devices.

Next, click on Preferences tab followed by Change under the country/region settings.

You will now need to enter details of the new country of residence.

If you need help finding a random address/phone number, there’s a great resource at Fake Name Generator that may be helpful.

Once you’ve added the new country details, click on Update.

That’s it! Your Amazon account country/region has changed and you can see your current country selection under the Country/Region settings.

Is Amazon Prime Different In Other Countries?

Content available from Prime Video varies by country and does not include purchases or rentals. When you change the country settings for your Amazon account, you’ll no longer be able to access any of your Prime Video purchases or rentals.

Prime Video Error: This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location

Just like Netflix, Amazon has titles based on regions. For example, if a video(title) is made available for Amazon Prime UK, you can’t access it using an Amazon Prime US account.

Is Amazon Prime blocking VPN? How To Trick My Location?

Amazon have been actively blocking VPN services. When you try to play a video/title in Amazon prime over a VPN connection, they can detect you’re coming from an encrypted connection and block your access. To trick your location and bypass VPN restrictions, you can use a Smart DNS service.

In a nutshell, you will need to do the following;

1. Create a new Amazon account
2. Configure your device to use a free Smart DNS service to bypass region-restrictions
3. Change Amazon Region on Smart DNS Website
4. Access prime videos/titles you wanted.

Complicated? No! Follow the steps below.

1. Register for A New Amazon account

Register for a new account at the amazon.com website. If you want to access more than a region/country videos, you need a separate Amazon Prime account for each region.

Important Note: Your new Amazon account region is determined by your account’s billing address and country selection. Please ensure you’ve set this correctly.

If you need help finding a random address/phone number, there’s a great resource at Fake Name Generator that may be helpful.

2. Smart DNS Setup

Once you’ve registered for a new Amazon Prime account, you will need to use a Smart DNS service.

e.g. Say you’re in the UK and want to access Amazon Prime USA. Despite having an Amazon US account, you still can’t access the US titles as Amazon knows you’re coming from a UK-based IP address. Therefore, you’ll need to use a Smart DNS service to bypass region restrictions.

To use a Smart DNS service, register for an account and configure your device as per the instructions at the link(s) below:

Go to the Smart DNS Proxy website and click on Try It Now button.

3. Changing Amazon Prime Region

Once you’ve configured your device to use Smart DNS, go to your Account’s region configuration, and lookup for Amazon Prime.

Next, select the Amazon Prime region you wish to access and click on the Update button.

That’s it! When you access Amazon Prime, you will appear as if you are coming from the selected region.

4. Accessing Amazon Prime Video

You must access Amazon Prime via the local Amazon website as per the link(s) below if you are using the US, UK, DE or JP regions.

• (UK) United Kingdom: amazon.co.uk
• (US) United States: amazon.com
• (DE) Germany: amazon.de
• (JP) Japan: amazon.co.jp

For any other regions, please use the www.primevideo.com website.
