EIN without an SSN or ITIN for your LLC or Corporation

The EIN is your company’s tax number with the IRS. If you don’t have a Social Security number (SSN) or an ITIN, you can still get one: it is requested with Form SS-4. We handle it for you, fully online with Spanish-speaking advisors.

What it is

What is an EIN and what is it for?

It is your company’s federal tax identification number with the IRS (also called a Tax ID). You need it to:

File taxes

Your company uses it on its tax returns with the IRS.

Hire employees

To hire people and run payroll, you need the EIN first.

Open a bank account

Banks usually ask for it, along with your formation documents.

Get paid online

Platforms such as Stripe or PayPal usually ask for the company’s EIN.

Step by step

How to get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN

This is how the IRS explains it on its EIN page and in the Instructions for Form SS-4:

  1. 01

    The company must already exist

    First, the LLC or Corporation is formed with the state. The EIN is requested for the company once it is formed.

  2. 02

    Form SS-4 is completed

    It is the IRS form to apply for an EIN. It includes the company’s details and its responsible party, who must be an individual.

  3. 03

    No SSN or ITIN? Here is how it is shown

    If the responsible party doesn’t have and can’t get an SSN or ITIN, the SS-4 instructions say to enter “foreign” or “N/A” on line 7b.

  4. 04

    By fax, by mail or by phone

    Because the IRS online application asks for an SSN or ITIN, Form SS-4 is sent by fax or by mail. If the company has no principal place of business or principal office in the U.S., the IRS also lets you apply by phone (international applicants).

    According to the SS-4 instructions, by fax the EIN generally arrives within about 4 business days, and by mail in about 4 weeks.

Those timeframes are set by the IRS: they don’t depend on us and we can’t promise them. We keep you posted by email and WhatsApp.
