US EIN federal tax ID for non-residents

Your business's US federal tax ID

An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a federal tax ID the IRS issues to your US company — like a social security number, but for your business. Non-US residents without an SSN can still get one: we file Form SS-4 with the IRS on your behalf and deliver your official EIN confirmation. It's the document banks, Stripe and the IRS all ask for.
