Lots and lots of people living outside the US are selling books in the ibookstore. Just follow the instructions in the FAQ for getting a tax id.

One of the requirements you need to meet is a US tax file number - and EIN, do you have one already?

This is the telephone number to use - and below is a link to a PDF. Download the PDF - print it off if you can and fill in all the answers required.

Have this with you you when you telephone the tax office. I suggest you calculate your time to telephone at THEIR 6.30pm. The office closes at 7pm and is usually "quiet" at that time and far easier to get an agent on to deal with you.

The agen will ask if you have the completed form and will quickly go through the form by numbers - which saves you time on the call. You will be given the EIN number verbally and about two weeks later after being process.. you will get a printed form in the mail. DOnt wait.. use the number given on teh phone to fill in your Apple application, but allow it will also take Apple 2 weeks or so to confirm the EIN is in place.

You do need a back account and a credit card - if you do not have both.. you will not get an account.

Mexico is in the list of 51 stores currently open to sell books on the iBooks store - once you get your account opened.

Good Luck.. if you get stuck along the line... come back and let us know.
