"What does this mean for my account?"
If you add a payment method to your account and it has a billing address located in Texas, we will require you to provide your EIN (Employer Identification Number), SSN (Social Security Number) or ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) before we allow you to use that card for payments.
In the rare case that you have both an ITIN and an SSN, please provide your SSN.
"What if I don't have an EIN, SSN or ITIN?"
If you're unable to provide either of these identification numbers, you can provide either:
- an Alien Identification Number
OR - Passport number and name of the issuing country
