When someone dies, notifying Audible is one of the key tasks for the executor or next of kin. This guide explains exactly who to contact, what to say, what documents you will need, and how long Audible takes to process a bereavement notification.

Visit audible.co.uk/ep/contact-us or call Amazon customer service (Audible is an Amazon company). Audible does not have a dedicated phone line for bereavement — use the online chat or contact form.
Audible Premium Plus (the main subscription) is billed monthly or annually. Cancel via the account settings at audible.co.uk or through Amazon customer service. Any credits remaining in the account will be lost on cancellation.
Audible Premium Plus memberships come with monthly credits that can purchase audiobooks. Any unused credits have real monetary value. Some Audible credit balances can be redeemed — ask customer service about the options.
Audiobooks purchased through Audible remain in the library even after cancellation — they are linked to the Amazon account. Consider whether the audiobook library (which may have monetary value) should be retained or transferred.
Have multiple certified copies of the death certificate ready. Banks and financial institutions each require an original or certified copy — you cannot usually pass a single copy between organisations. See our guide to how many death certificates you need.
Audible typically takes 1 weeks to process a bereavement notification once all required documents have been received.
During this period, accounts or services will typically be frozen until the estate is administered. This means no new transactions can be authorised.
Audible and Amazon Prime are linked services. If the deceased held Amazon Prime, the Audible subscription may be part of that bundle. See the Amazon Prime bereavement guide for the most efficient way to handle both simultaneously.

Once Audible receives your notification and confirms receipt, the account or service will be frozen and no new transactions will be authorised. Estate administration can then begin.
Audible will confirm receipt of your notification and advise you of any next steps required to close or transfer the account or policy. Keep a record of all correspondence and reference numbers for the estate file.
Do not delay notifying Audible
Direct debits and standing orders may continue to be charged after death. Some organisations treat the estate as the debtor for any charges incurred before notification. Notifying Audible promptly protects the estate from unnecessary costs.
