How can I obtain a tax ID number to give to vendors when I make a purchase for resale?

If you are making purchases of products for resale as tangible personal property or incorporation into a product that will be sold as tangible personal property, you are required to obtain a sales and use tax license for the collection and remittance of the sales tax. The license authorizes a person to issue resale certificates to vendors containing the purchaser's sales and use tax account number.
