    Amazon needs your social security number (if individual) or employer identification number - EIN (if corporation). Amazon does not need you to send in the W9 form as many other organizations do.

    Amazon automatically detects addresses for international affiliates (very easy since the country is not the US). For those addresses, neither EIN nor Social Security Number are required or requested. So you are all free to go.
