About us
Built for non-U.S. founders, by people who actually file these
EINNumber.io is a private service that prepares and files U.S. EIN applications on behalf of non-U.S. founders, foreign-owned LLCs, and applicants without an SSN or ITIN. We're focused — this is all we do — and we'd rather lose a sale than help someone who's better served elsewhere.

Why this service exists
The IRS online EIN application is fast, free, and easy — if your business is based in the U.S. and you have a Social Security Number or ITIN. If not, the process drops from a 15-minute online form to a faxed or mailed Form SS-4 — or, for a business run entirely from outside the U.S., a call to the IRS international line. Timelines often stretch from minutes to weeks. Small mistakes on the SS-4 trigger silent rejections. Names that don’t match across passport, formation documents, and the SS-4 cause downstream rejections at Mercury, Stripe, and every U.S. bank.
We started working with non-U.S. founders because there are millions of them now building real businesses on U.S. infrastructure — and the existing options were either expensive law firms (overkill), generic formation services (EIN treated as an afterthought), or DIY guides from 2017 (outdated). None of them specialized.
Today we file SS-4s every week for founders in 60+ countries. We’ve seen every variant of the “stuck application” problem. We know which banks care about which name formats. None of that knowledge is anywhere near worth the marketing copy a law firm would put on it — but it’s enough to do the work right, and that’s what we sell.

Who’s behind EINNumber.io
The same team you’ll find in our public reviews: on Fiverr under Tousif Akram, and on Trustpilot, where we also serve founders as FormLLC. Same people, same process — EINNumber.io is where we focus on EIN applications alone.
How a case moves, from first email to EIN
The same four steps for every client. You always know what stage you’re at and who is handling it.
Day 1
Fit check
You share your company certificate and passport details. A specialist confirms your case fits — or tells you honestly that you don’t need us.
Within 2–3 business days
SS-4 prepared line by line
We match your legal name, entity type and responsible party exactly to your documents, then send the draft for your approval.
On your approval
Filed with the IRS
We fax your SS-4 to the IRS line that matches where your business is run (the international EIN line when that's outside the U.S.) and check its status with the IRS — no waiting for letters in silence.
Typically 1–2 weeks
EIN delivered
You receive the IRS confirmation as a clean PDF, with next steps for Mercury, Wise, Stripe and other platforms.
How we run this business
Honesty first
If your case isn't a fit for our service, we tell you — and point you somewhere better. We'd rather lose a sale than mislead you into a service that doesn't help.
Direct communication
No ticket queues, no chatbots. When you engage us, you talk to the specialist actually handling your case. We aim to reply within one business day.
Specialists, not generalists
On EINNumber.io we do one thing — prepare and file EIN applications for non-U.S. founders — and we do it every day. Tax filings and legal work go to professionals we trust.
Realistic expectations
We won't promise instant EINs (we file by fax, and the IRS sets the pace). We won't promise IRS shortcuts (there aren't any). We will give you the cleanest, most accurate filing possible.
How we keep our information accurate
Our guides and service pages are written by the people who prepare these applications — and every IRS fact on them is checked against the IRS itself.
- IRS phone and fax numbers, processing targets and SS-4 line rules come from the official IRS pages listed below. Last checked .
- We re-check them whenever the IRS revises the Instructions for Form SS-4, and at least every quarter — the IRS changes numbers without notice.
- We keep IRS rules separate from our own experience. When something is our observation (like typical timelines with status follow-up), we say so.
- Where a question is really about tax or law, we say that too and point you to a qualified professional.
What founders say after they receive their EIN
Reviews from our Fiverr profile and from Trustpilot, where we also serve founders as FormLLC, shown word for word. Client stories from this site use abbreviated names, with companies and countries shared with permission.
“Super service! I needed an EIN for my LLC, and Tousif handled everything smoothly and professionally. He was responsive, answered all my questions clearly, and delivered the EIN with the official 147C confirmation letter faster than expected. He also made sure everything was done correctly and in my name. Thank you!”
The things we explicitly say no to
Clear boundaries are part of the service. Here is what you will never get from us.
Guarantee timelines
The IRS sets the IRS timeline. We can prevent avoidable delays — we can’t promise a week, a month, or any fixed date.
Sell you an EIN
The EIN comes from the IRS, free. Our fee is for our work around it.
Claim IRS affiliation
We are a private service. We are not the IRS, not a government agency, and not authorized to act in any official IRS capacity.
Provide tax or legal advice
We help with EIN applications. If you need a CPA or a tax attorney, we can refer you to people we trust.
Take cases that aren’t a fit
If you’d be better off applying online yourself, or going through an ITIN first, we’ll tell you.

The IRS determines its own processing times, which may vary depending on application volume. Faxed applications requiring a response by mail can take 1–3 months to process. We simplify the process by following up with the IRS on your behalf and keeping you informed of your application status. Once your EIN is assigned, we notify you promptly. While processing times cannot be guaranteed, we strive to make the experience as smooth and straightforward as possible. All prices are listed in USD with no hidden fees, and payments can be made securely through PayPal using supported international payment methods.
