Your EIN is the key that unlocks US banking, Stripe and tax filing — and you don't need a Social Security Number to get one. Non-residents apply via Form SS-4, and the process has traps that delay or reject applications. We file it correctly, first time.
What’s included
- Form SS-4 prepared accurately for a foreign applicant
- Correct responsible-party and entity details (the #1 rejection cause)
- Filing via the right IRS channel for your situation
- Follow-up on your application until the EIN letter arrives
- Guidance on what to do next (banking, Stripe, state tax accounts)
How it works
- Message us on WhatsApp — with your LLC details (or ask us to form the LLC too).
- We prepare your SS-4 — every field checked against IRS rules for foreign applicants.
- We file and track it — fax or mail to the IRS, then follow up.
- You receive your EIN letter — the official IRS confirmation banks and Stripe ask for.

FAQs
Can I apply for an EIN online as a non-resident?
The IRS online application requires an SSN or ITIN, so foreign applicants without one apply by fax or mail with Form SS-4. We handle that process for you.
How long does it take?
Several weeks via the IRS foreign-applicant process. Filing correctly the first time is what keeps it from taking longer.
Do I need an LLC before applying?
Yes — the EIN belongs to a business entity, so your LLC (or corporation) must exist first. We can form it for you: $130 + state fee.
What's the difference between an EIN and an ITIN?
The EIN is your company's tax ID. The ITIN is your personal tax number as an individual. Most non-resident founders need the EIN; you need an ITIN if you have US tax filing obligations personally. Learn about ITIN →
