About EIN Application without SSN
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Foreign owners can get an EIN for a US LLC or corporation without an SSN or ITIN by submitting Form SS-4 to the IRS by fax or, for international applicants, by phone. The responsible party is listed as a foreign person, and the IRS issues the EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) — the document banks and payment platforms ask for. Online EIN applications generally require an SSN or ITIN.
Mistakes on SS-4 — wrong entity classification, a mismatched legal name, or an incorrect responsible party — cause delays and later tax notices. We prepare the form to match the formation documents exactly.
If the original EIN letter is lost, the IRS can issue a verification letter (147C).
