Bitwage asks for a user's tax ID as part of verification, but what is it in different countries?
As part of Bitwage's verification process, we will request your tax identification number. In the United States, this typically refers to an individual's Social Security Number (SSN) or a company's Employer Identification Number (EIN). For other countries, please utilize the equivalent identification number. We have compiled a list from online sources that provides the closest equivalents for a select number of countries. If your country is not included in the list, you can simply search online for the "equivalent of a Social Security (or Employer Identification) number in [country]," and the search results should yield the number we require!United States: Social Security Number (SSN) and Employer Identification Number (EIN)
