EINThe Employer Identification Number, obtained within 48 hours.
The federal tax ID a US bank and Stripe require from a non-resident company owner. The EIN and an official IRS confirmation, obtained for your existing US company.
Independent third-party service — not affiliated with the IRS or any government agency. An EIN can be requested directly from the IRS at no cost; this service is for non-resident owners who cannot use the IRS online application.
An EIN is issued by the IRS free of charge. But the only fast, direct route — the IRS online application — requires a personal US tax ID, an SSN or ITIN, which a non-resident owner does not have. The request then has to go through the channel for foreign applicants by international phone or fax, and the official notice is mailed and takes several weeks to arrive. This service is built for that gap: it is for non-US residents, and only for them.
The service is charged in full, then the official notice arrives by mail several weeks later. A usable confirmation document is typically not part of it.
Your company and personal details are handed to an opaque provider, with little visibility on who handles the file or what recourse you have.
Your EIN and an official IRS confirmation document, delivered by email within 48 hours, by a single identified provider under written terms.

A short form, then checkout. EIN and IRS confirmation delivered within 48 hours.
An EIN is free directly from the IRS, but the online route needs an SSN or ITIN. ForeignEIN is an independent service for non-resident owners — not affiliated with the IRS.
ForeignEIN is an independent third-party administrative service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the IRS or any government agency, and it is not a law firm, a tax advisor, or a registered agent. An EIN can be obtained directly from the IRS at no cost; this is a paid service for non-resident owners who cannot use the IRS online application, which requires a US SSN or ITIN. The client is the responsible party of their own company and is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide. ForeignEIN does not open, and does not guarantee the opening of, any bank or payment account; the decisions of such institutions remain entirely their own.
