Account management

I completed the certification exam today and tried to publish my profile.  After I uploaded my government ID, I got an email saying I need to submit one of the following (none of which I have, since I am a sole proprietor with no formal business entity yet):  

  

Please submit a Notarized Copy of one or more of the following documents

  • Articles of Incorporation
  • Business License
  • Corporation Bylaws
  • Shareholders Agreement
  • Certificate of Limited Liability Partnership or Limited Partnership
  • CPA License Information / Proof License is in Good Standing

Nowhere on the site does it specify that we need to be incorporated, licensed, etc to join the program.  I would not have wasted my time doing the training if I'd known this.  Can someone explain why the above is necessary?
