TIN (Tax Number) for non-US citize… | Apple Developer Forums

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.
