What an EIN is, and why the online tool refuses you

An EIN is a nine-digit number the IRS issues to identify a business. Your company needs one for a US bank account, payment processors like Stripe, and for a foreign-owned LLC, Form 5472.

The IRS online application requires a US location and a valid SSN, EIN or ITIN, so most non-residents can't use it. That doesn't stop you getting an EIN; it is issued through a different channel.

International applicants can obtain an EIN by phone, fax or post. The IRS charges nothing for it.

Four things worth knowing first

The responsible party must be a person

Not a company or nominee. If they have no SSN or ITIN, the form still needs an entry.

One EIN per responsible party, per day

Worth knowing if you are forming several companies.

The name must fit IRS character rules

Some names accepted by the state get rejected or truncated by the IRS.

A designee's authority ends on assignment

Third-party authorization covers getting the number, not ongoing IRS contact.
