Non-US resident? You can’t apply for EIN directly online — but SpeedEIN makes it fast and easy. Complete your EIN application online, even without an SSN. Get your IRS-issued EIN in 10 days. Start now!
You’ve formed your US LLC from abroad. Now you need an EIN to open a bank account, accept payments, and operate legally.
You search:
“Can I apply for EIN online?”
You find the IRS website — but hit a wall:
❌ “International applicants cannot apply online.”
❌ No SSN? No ITIN? You’re stuck.
You’re not alone. Non-US residents are not allowed to apply for an EIN through the IRS’s online portal — even if they own a US-based LLC.
But there’s a solution:
✅ SpeedEIN — the fastest, most reliable way to complete your EIN application online — without an SSN, without delays, and fully IRS-compliant.
This 2025 guide shows you how it works — and why thousands of foreign entrepreneurs trust SpeedEIN.
🚫 Why Can’t Foreign Owners Apply for EIN Online?
The IRS only allows the following to apply online:
- US citizens or residents with a valid SSN
- Entities with a US-registered principal business address
- Applicants using a US-based phone number and IP address
If you’re outside the US and don’t have an SSN, you’re automatically blocked from the online EIN application.
📌 Your only options:
- Mail Form SS-4 → 6–8 weeks (slow, high error risk)
- Fax Form SS-4 → 4–6 weeks (better, but still manual)
- ✅ Use a trusted third party like SpeedEIN → EIN in 10 business days
✅ How SpeedEIN Lets You Apply for EIN Online (Even Without SSN)

🚫 Common Mistakes Foreign Applicants Make
- ❌ Trying to apply directly on IRS.gov
→ You’ll be blocked. Use SpeedEIN instead. - ❌ Listing a registered agent as responsible party
→ The IRS requires the real owner — that’s you. - ❌ Using a PO Box for CP575
→ IRS only sends CP575 to physical US street addresses. - ❌ Poor document quality
→ Blurry scans cause delays. We check everything. - ❌ No handwritten signature
→ We guide you to sign correctly — in ink.
📬 Why the CP575 Letter Matters
The CP575 is the official IRS letter confirming your EIN assignment.
You need it to:
- Open a US bank account (Wise, Mercury, Chase, etc.)
- Activate Stripe, PayPal, Amazon Pay
- File US taxes annually
- Prove your business identity
📌 SpeedEIN ensures your CP575 is issued in your name as the responsible party — so banks and platforms accept it.
