I just went through a store change of address on BL. I've read so many problems
with sellers getting re-verified when changing addresses. Hoping for the best!

I moved within the United States a few months ago and I was able to change my
store address in BrickLink without issue. I think BrickLink only requires sellers
to reverify their address if they move to a different country.

Not true. I changed my store address and am now in the seller verification process.
It warned me before I changed my address that it would happen, but what other
option do I have? Had to upload new proof of who I am, proof of my new address
and proof of my physical inventory - which I couldn't do very well because
we only get possession tomorrow and don't normally take pictures of myself
with all my inventory - which is what they ask for. Still hoping for the best.

This page implies that you only need to reapply when you change your country.

Did you initiate the process or did they?

Thanks for the link. I wonder how old it is? I initiated the process because
I moved from Ontario to Alberta. I'm now in Alberta and moving in to the
new house tomorrow, so I changed my address on BL. I was able to change my address
for "My Personal Information" without an issue. However, changing my
store address is when I ran into the re-verification. I changed the address and
then before submitting, it popped up a warning that this would close my store
until I completed the verification process, which it did. Still hoping for a
quick turnaround.

I changed my address within Edmonton and there were no such issues, perhaps it
was because it was a cross-country change?

You didn't hear the news? Alberta declared independence from Canada.

In Irvine, Ontario and Alberta are considered two different countries!

Maybe if there is a different TAX % to apply between those provinces it triggers
the verification, in EU it just changes by country.

I suspect it's because they started collecting sales tax on the seller fees
(which they still haven't updated us on since bringing up their non-compliance
issues). Since you changed province, it changes the taxes for it too.

Just a quick update. Verification is complete! Thank you for the fast turnaround
