What is "Form W9"? It is mandatory to fill-up?

Always Fiverr send a notification for fill-up w9 form after creating account.

Form W-9 is mandatory for U.S. freelancers and independent contractors on platforms like Fiverr. It helps report income to the IRS. If you are not a U.S. taxpayer or are an employee with taxes withheld, it may not be necessary.

So will W-9 only be filled by US freelancers?

Or for all freelancers of all countries?
