Update your Sole Proprietor business data

If you have a US account and your business type is: Individual, Sole proprietor or Single membership LLC, we are required to collect your full personal tax ID - SSN or ITIN. If you do not have one of those, we may prompt you to enter your nationality.

The nationality field is your country of citizenship. This should only be completed if you don't have an SSN.

You can fill your SSN or pick your nationality here.
