How to Get Audible Titles Not for Sale in Your Country: Regional exclusivity is typical of Audible titles. Despite the fact that a particular title may be accessible on the site, it may disappear once you log in. In some instances, you may see the audiobook title but be unable to purchase it because “Audible is not authorised to sell this title in your country/region.” is displayed.
It’s aggravating to be unable to access the audiobook of your choosing when you know that Audible has it in its library but refuses to sell it to you due to your location. Fortunately, this is a straightforward problem to fix. Follow the instructions provided below to access Audible titles that are unavailable in your country or region.

Why are some Audible titles not accessible in my country or region?
Your Audible membership is linked to both the Audible marketplace your account is on and the country specified in your payment information. And ultimately, it is the combination of these two factors that determines whether or not a title will be accessible to you.
Once you are logged in, the catalogue of available titles changes based on your regional information. You will only be shown titles that local authorities have authorised Audible to sell. In some instances, the title will appear when you conduct a search, but when you click on it, you may see the following message:
Fortunately, Audible allows you to circumvent regional restrictions by establishing a new membership on a different marketplace and gaining access to the title in this manner. See below for details on how to proceed.
How to obtain Audible titles unavailable in your region
If the message “Title not for sale in this country/region” appears, proceed with the first solution. Alternatively, if you cannot even locate the audiobook title on Audible, use the second method.
Modify your nation on the payment page
If you see a message stating that Audible lacks the rights or authorization to sell a particular title in your region, you will need to change the country under your credit card information on the payment page.
To do this, sign into your Audible account and hover over your name at the top of the page.
Select Account information.
Choose Payment on the left.
Click Edit next to your credit card information.
In the following window, select ‘Country’ from the drop-down menu.
Choose United States.
Enter a valid United States postal code or choose a state.
Then, select Save.
Now look for the identical volume. You can now purchase and listen to the audiobook as you would any other book.
2. Begin your Audible subscription in a separate Audible marketplace
If a title does not appear during a search on Audible, you will be required to switch to a new Audible marketplace. Therefore, if you are on audible.ca (Canada), create an account on audible.com instead. This will have no effect on your existing Audible membership. You can terminate your current membership and sign up for a new one on Audible.com if you wish.
Although you can switch to any Audible region (such as audible.co.uk), it is recommended that you select audible.com as the United States is where the primary library is curated.
Also, ensure that the payment country is set to the United States when entering your card information, or alter it later as demonstrated.
FAQ
Let’s examine some frequently asked concerns regarding accessing Audible titles that are unavailable in your country or region.
Can a VPN be used to access Audible titles that are unavailable in my country?
Although using a VPN fools Audible into believing that you are in a different country, the country information on your payment method and the Audible website you are on determine whether or not you can access specific titles.
Can my Audible country be changed?
Yes, you are able to alter your Audible country by visiting the Audible website of the desired country and signing up for a new membership. This action has no effect on your existing Audible membership on your region’s Audible website.
What are Audible’s various marketplaces?
The available Audible regions and marketplaces include audible.ca (Canada), audible.co.uk (UK and Ireland), audible.co.au (Australia and New Zealand), audible.fr (France, Belgium, and Switzerland), audible.de (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), audible.co.jp (Japan), audible.it (Italy), audible.in (India), audible.es (Spain), and audible.com (US and all other countries).
Where is the Audible app’s payment page?
The Audible app’s payment page is accessible via Profile > View Account > Payment Methods. However, recent app updates may have eliminated the Payments section.
As the central hub for Audible, audible.com is where you will discover all titles that are unavailable in your region’s Audible marketplace. Moreover, if you are already on audible.com, ensure that your payment country is set to the same locale. If both of these parameters are set to the same marketplace where the audiobook is available, Audible will be able to sell you the desired title.
