EIN Application

Get Your EIN Fast — The Right Way

An EIN (Employer Identification Number), also called a Federal Tax Identification Number, is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to your business. It functions like a Social Security Number for your company and is required for virtually every business activity in the United States.

USBase applies for your EIN directly with the IRS, whether you're a U.S. resident or a foreign national with no SSN. We handle all IRS communication and ensure you receive your EIN correctly.

Why You Need an EIN

• Open a U.S. business bank account (required by all banks)
• Hire employees in the United States
• Apply for business licenses and permits
• File federal and state tax returns
• Set up payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Square)
• Establish business credit and apply for loans

How We Obtain Your EIN

• For U.S. residents: Online IRS application (same-day issuance)
• For non-residents (no SSN): IRS Form SS-4 filed by mail or fax
• As your authorized representative, we communicate with the IRS directly
• You receive your EIN confirmation letter (CP575) digitally
• Typical non-resident processing: 2–4 weeks via fax to IRS

Non-Resident EIN — No SSN Required

Many non-U.S. residents struggle to obtain an EIN because they don't have a Social Security Number. USBase specializes in EIN applications for foreign nationals and non-residents. We file the SS-4 form as your third-party designee, communicate with the IRS on your behalf, and deliver your EIN directly to you.
