Updating Your Account Name

If you do not have a legally registered business name, your legal name will need to be used for your IngramSpark account.

The account name must also match the name on the bank account for the deposit of publisher compensation payments, for books sold through Ingram's Global Distribution network.

To update your account name, please use this Name Change Request Form to start the process. We do not collect social security numbers. You can upload tax resale certificates for your account. For more sales tax-related information please see this article:
