01 · Case check
We review your entity, principal location, responsible party, and the real reason you need an EIN.
The process
Your details in. Guesswork out.
A visible application path for international founders—what you provide, what we prepare, and what the EIN does not promise.
Detail review
The smallest blank can become the longest delay.
We check the fields that connect your entity, responsible party, address, and reason for applying before the file moves forward.
02 · Detail review
You provide accurate identity and business information. We flag blanks and contradictions before filing.
03 · SS-4 preparation
We prepare the form and guide the appropriate international route. You review before submission.
04 · Confirmation
Once issued, organise your IRS notice and use the handoff checklist for banks or payment providers.
What we need
Good applications start with matching facts.
- Entity details
Legal name, formation location, and business address. - Responsible party
The real person who ultimately owns or controls the entity. - Business purpose
What the entity actually does and why the EIN is needed. - Review approval
You confirm the information before it is submitted.
What happens after the EIN?
Keep the IRS confirmation with your formation and ownership records. If you apply to a bank or payment processor, use only truthful information that matches those documents. Each provider sets its own country, business, banking, and identity requirements.
An EIN is not permission to misstate where you live or operate. It is a federal tax ID for the entity identified in the application.
Typical timing
The IRS publishes different application methods for international applicants. Timing can change with the channel, application quality, and IRS workload. We give a case-specific expectation after review; we do not sell a guaranteed date.
