EIN support for non-US residents
An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is the federal tax identification number used by the IRS to identify a US business.
For non-US founders, getting an EIN is often one of the most important steps after forming a US LLC. It may be required for banking, payment providers, tax forms, business verification and general company administration.
US LLC Setup supports non-US residents through the EIN application process, even if they do not have a Social Security Number.

Why your US LLC needs an EIN
A US LLC may need an EIN for several practical reasons:
• Opening or applying for business bank accounts
• Setting up payment providers such as Stripe, Wise or Mercury
• Completing tax-related forms
• Receiving payments as a US business entity
• Creating a more complete business profile
• Separating personal and company administration
• Working with platforms, vendors or clients that request a US tax identification number
For many non-US founders, the EIN is the key step that turns the LLC from a formation document into a usable business structure.
EIN support for non-US residents
Many non-US founders do not have a US Social Security Number. That does not automatically prevent them from applying for an EIN, but the process can feel confusing if you are doing it for the first time.
Depending on your package, EIN support may include:
• Explanation of the EIN process for non-US residents
• Guidance on required company and owner information
• Support with preparation of the EIN application details
• Overview of the IRS process
• Follow-up guidance after EIN issuance
• Practical next steps after receiving the EIN
