# How to register for a sales tax permit in Maryland

| Sidr Tax creates the sales tax account for you. However, this state requires that you have your own login and we access your account as a third-party.

### Create a [Maryland Tax Connect](https://mdtaxconnect.gov/rptp/portal/home) Login

After Sidr Tax applies for a sales tax permit on your behalf, you will receive your Maryland sales tax ID, PIN, and filing frequency in the mail.

If you have any further questions or need additional information, please email
MDTAXCONNECTHELP@marylandtaxes.gov, or call the Maryland Central Registration Unit at (410) 260-7980 from Central Maryland or (800) 638-2937 from elsewhere. You can find the registration confirmation number in the registration details.

### Registration without SSN

If the business owner does not have SSN or ITIN, you will receive a letter from Maryland requiring a signed notarize affidavit. You can generate a signed affidavit using [this link](https://app.hellosign.com/s/8r5GfWIR). You can then notarize the signed affidavit. If you don't have an easy access to a notary, we recommend using an online service listed below.
* [NotaryCam](https://www.notarycam.com/pricing/)
* [NotaryLive](https://notarylive.com/pricing): Cheaper option. But you need to have enough publicly available data in US records or a verifier to be verified. Learn about their policy [here](https://notarylive.com/blog/can-I-notarize-online-if-i'm-abroad).
* [US Virtual Notary](https://usvirtualnotary.com/service/international-notarization/)

After you receive the signed notarize affidavit, please send it to us together with the Maryland letter. We will forward it to Maryland for you.
