🇺🇸 IRS TAX ID SERVICES
IRS EIN Registration
for Non-US Residents
Obtain your official Employer Identification Number from the IRS without an SSN or ITIN. The key to opening US business bank accounts and processing payments globally.
What is an EIN?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique 9-digit tax ID assigned to your business by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Think of it as the Social Security Number for your company.
While US citizens can get an EIN online in minutes, foreign founders without an SSN must go through a manual paper/fax process (Form SS-4). We specialize in preparing, submitting, and tracking this application to get your official CP 575 letter smoothly.
Why Do You Need It?
- **Business Banking:** Mercury, Wise, and Payoneer require it.
- **Payment Gateways:** Essential for US Stripe, PayPal, and Square.
- **US Compliance:** Required to file mandatory annual IRS forms.
DIY Application Pitfalls
Navigating the IRS bureaucracy from overseas is notoriously difficult and error-prone.
Form Errors
Incorrectly checking the wrong LLC entity classification box on Form SS-4 can trigger incorrect tax statuses, leading to audits or unexpected tax liabilities.
Lost Applications
Mailing forms internationally often results in lost documents. Even standard online fax services sometimes fail IRS secure transmission checks, leaving you waiting indefinitely.
Delayed Business
Without an EIN, your LLC is completely paralyzed. You cannot open a bank account or accept payments. Delays in processing directly translate to lost revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a 9-digit tax ID assigned by the IRS to identify a business entity operating in the US. It is required to open a US business bank account, hire employees, and file taxes.
No. Non-US residents without a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) can absolutely still obtain an EIN for their US company. We handle this specialized application process.
Because non-US residents cannot apply online, we must file Form SS-4 via fax. The IRS typically processes faxed EIN applications in 10 to 15 business days, though exact times vary based on IRS backlog.
Yes. To open accounts with platforms like Mercury, Wise Business, or traditional US banks, you need your approved LLC documents and your official EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) from the IRS.
The CP 575 is the official confirmation letter issued by the IRS when they assign an EIN. It serves as permanent proof of your tax ID and is highly requested by banks and merchant processors like Stripe.
Having an EIN does not automatically mean you owe US income tax. If you are a non-US resident running a single-member LLC with no physical presence in the US, you typically do not owe US taxes, but you still need an EIN to report to the IRS (Form 5472).
You can, but the process for foreign applicants is complex and requires international calling or faxing the IRS, answering technical entity classification questions on Form SS-4, and waiting on hold. We ensure it's done correctly the first time.
No, an EIN never expires. Once the IRS issues an EIN to your business, it remains associated with that entity forever.
No. Each separate legal entity (like a distinct LLC or Corporation) must have its own unique EIN.
If you lose your CP 575, you can request an EIN Verification Letter (147C) from the IRS by calling their business specialty tax line. However, keeping the original CP 575 secure is highly recommended.
