IRS tax ID

EIN application for non-residents.

An EIN is the tax ID your US company needs to open a bank account, take payments and sell on marketplaces. We prepare and submit your application to the IRS. No SSN or ITIN needed.

What is an EIN?

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number the IRS gives a business, much like a personal tax number. Almost every US LLC needs one, even if it never hires staff.

Non-residents apply on Form SS-4 and say they have no SSN or ITIN. Because the online form needs an SSN, the application goes to the IRS by fax or post instead, and the IRS sends the EIN back the same way.

What you can do with it

  • Opening a US business bank account
  • Stripe and PayPal business accounts
  • Selling on Amazon and other marketplaces
  • Filing your LLC's federal returns with the IRS

What we need from you

  • Your LLC's legal name, state and formation date
  • The type of company (for example a single-member LLC)
  • Full name and address of the owner (the "responsible party")
  • Your US business or registered agent address
  • What the business does

Most EIN delays come from small mistakes: a name that does not match the state record, the wrong entity type or missing owner details. We check every line before it goes to the IRS.

EIN questions.

Can a non-resident get an EIN without an SSN?

Yes. Non-residents apply with Form SS-4 and state that they have no SSN or ITIN. The IRS then issues the EIN by fax or post.

How long does an EIN take for non-residents?

The IRS sets the timeline and it changes with their workload. Fax applications are usually faster than post. We submit promptly and follow up for you.

Is the EIN included in your LLC packages?

Yes. Every US LLC package includes the EIN application. If you already have an LLC, ask us for a quote for the EIN on its own.

Can you guarantee my EIN?

Only the IRS can issue an EIN. We make sure your application is complete and correct, which avoids the most common delays.
