Sole proprietorships can consist of an individual or a married couple or a registered domestic partnership. All others: For a general partnership, list the names of all partners here.

For a corporation, LLC, LLP, or LP, provide the entity name as registered with the Secretary of State. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: This information is not public, but is used for internal purposes to process the registration application. Social Security Number: We require the sole owner's or independent contractor's Social Security Number (or TIN, if applicable). Spouses and registered domestic partners can file as a sole proprietorship using either person's Social Security Number. Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN, a.k.a.

This number is obtained from the Internal Revenue Service. Proof of FEIN issued by the IRS may be required to be submitted with the application.
