Must I provide my contact number and tax id?

[hulahoop]

Hello,

My site is registered as a US incorporated company but I have since moved to Asia. I also have local company now in the country I now live in. I noticed that all Afiliate networks require the following to be a advertiser:

1) Contact Number
(do they call before aproving registration?)

2) Tax file/id
I am in the midst of wanting to just use my US company to front my website but I want to pay taxes using my local company as my payment gateway pays to my local company.

I am now confuse if I should register with my US registration (they can't call me) or my local company?
Is it difficult registrating as a non-US company?
Also I want to pay by paypal only. Who are the big networks an advertiser with my situation?

Appreciate your advice

If you want to use your US company with a "real" US number, get a free voicemail number. Can't mention any specific ones here, although the big one has a "J" in the name. It's also possible to get free VOIP numbers in the US.

Having said that, I'm based outside the US. It bars me (and my non-US company) from some afflilate programs, but none that matter for me. For one that was limited to US only I asked and they accepted me anyway as it was good fit.

I've also never had a phone call by signing up for any affiliate program.

For the tax id, if you don't use your US company, you just put N/A or Foreign when they ask for it.
