Hi. I am a non-American Citizen and an individual Apple Developer.

As you know, to upload my paid app to the App Store, I need to fill out the contract application with Apple and I need TIN (Taxpayer Identity Number) (Line 6, Form W-9), because every Apple developer needs to fill out the US Tax Form.

Actually, I don't have that nine-digit number.

I previously read several threads in different forums and also tried to enter nine "0" digits, but it gave me the following error:

An account corresponding to your name/address and/or Taxpayer Identification Number has already been created. If you believe you are reaching this message in error, you may Contact Us.

So how can I get this number in order to submit my app? I appreciate your help in this regard.

We are a UK registered business and I am trying to complete the tax section on my developer account. Can anyone advise us on the steps we need to do, as it's rather complicated and don't know what we need to fill out. We won't be employing anyone either. There's different options like SSN, ITIN, EIN, so would be very grateful of the help.

Many thanks in advance
