Unable to register for GitHub Sponsors

Hi!
I'm trying to register a sponsor account on GitHub, and the Stripe page has the address input fields disabled. The checkbox for "User Business Address" doesn't enable to form input fields either.
Apart from that when I enter my Tax ID (Business Details), I'm getting an error: Invalid Tax ID.

Please could anyone advise how to submit my registration form on Stripe for the GitHub Sponsors page? Thanks!

Hey! I ran into something similar when I was setting up my sponsor account.

In my case, the address fields stayed disabled because there was a form validation issue earlier - like an invalid or missing field that didn’t show an obvious error.
You might want to double-check that all required fields (especially tax details) are filled in correctly before the address section becomes active.

For the "Invalid Tax ID" part: make sure the format matches exactly what Stripe expects for your country.
Sometimes it’s super picky about spacing, dashes, or prefixes (like GSTIN vs PAN in India, for example).

If nothing works, I’d recommend reaching out to GitHub Sponsors support directly - they responded pretty quickly when I contacted them.

Hope this helps a bit!
