Secure Your EIN Fast and Hassle-Free

EIN stands for Employer Identification Number. Issued by the U.S. Federal Government, an EIN is a nine-digit number that is unique to your business. Like your social security number uniquely identifies you, your EIN uniquely identifies your business. You can apply for an EIN on the IRS website or you can let LLC Attorney can handle that for you!

When you start a business and form your LLC (or corporation), you'll most likely want to create an EIN because it facilitates many of the other parts of running a business.

You need an EIN to:

• Open a business bank account
• File your business taxes
• Apply for licenses or permits
• File Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) and Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)

Having an EIN makes it possible to get approved for a business bank account, and a business bank account can help separate your personal and business finances—an important step in protecting your liability shield and staying organized. Many business owners get one early on so they can start off on the right foot and avoid delays when setting up essential services.

Yes, a non-resident can get an EIN — and it's often required if you're starting a U.S. business or need to open a U.S. bank account.

Who can apply for an EIN:

• Non-U.S. residents who are starting a business in the U.S. (LLC, corporation, etc.)
• Foreign owners of U.S.-based companies
• International entrepreneurs who need a U.S. tax ID for opening a U.S. bank account, hiring employees, or filing taxes

You don’t need a Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or U.S. citizenship to apply.
