Getting an EIN as a non-U.S. founder is full of small traps
The IRS process wasn't designed with international applicants in mind. Most rejections and multi-month delays come from a handful of avoidable mistakes.
Common pitfalls
What usually goes wrong when filing alone
- Wyoming Secretary of State stamps the Articles in a specific format — your SS-4 must match exactly.
- Registered agent address on the Articles vs. your foreign residence on the SS-4 — placement matters.
- Single-member Wyoming LLCs are disregarded entities — but the SS-4 entity classification line still needs care.
- Mercury and other Wyoming-friendly banks check EIN-name matching strictly.
Our approach
How we prevent each of those problems
- Wyoming Articles compared line-by-line against your SS-4 before submission.
- Mailing strategy chosen explicitly — registered agent, virtual mailbox, or home address.
- Entity classification confirmed for your single-member or multi-member structure.
- EIN confirmation delivered in the format Mercury and Relay expect.

How the IRS accepts applications from outside the U.S.
Applicants whose business is based outside the U.S. can’t use the IRS online tool. These are the three channels the IRS lists for them. You can use any of them yourself — the EIN is free.
| Method | Where | When | IRS-stated timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone | +1 267-941-1099 (not toll-free) | Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m. Eastern | EIN issued during the call if the application is complete |
| Fax | +1 304-707-9471 from outside the U.S. · 855-215-1627 from within the U.S. | Any time | Generally within 4 business days (IRS Fax-TIN target) |
| Internal Revenue Service, Attn: EIN International Operation, Cincinnati, OH 45999 | — | Approximately 4 weeks |
- Line 7b without an SSN or ITIN. Enter “foreign” or N/A if the responsible party doesn’t have, and is ineligible to obtain, an SSN or ITIN.
- Daily limit. The IRS issues only one EIN per responsible party per day, across all application methods. Don’t send duplicate applications while you wait.
- Form the LLC first. An LLC or corporation should be formed with its state before applying, or the EIN application may be delayed.
IRS timings are the IRS’s own targets. In practice, fax and mail applications from outside the U.S. often take longer — and an application with an error may get no reply at all, which is the problem our review is designed to prevent.

Common questions from non-U.S. applicants
If your question isn't here, contact us — we'll answer honestly, even if the answer is 'this isn't a fit for our service.'
Why is Wyoming so popular for non-U.S. founders?
Low annual report fees (from $60 a year), strong privacy protections (members not on public record), no state income tax, and reasonable formation costs. It's a fit for most online businesses run from outside the U.S.
Does Wyoming offer same-day EIN?
No — the EIN comes from the IRS, not the state. Wyoming can issue same-day Articles of Organization, but the EIN still goes through the standard IRS SS-4 process (with our status follow-up, typically 1–2 weeks for international applicants).
Do I need a Wyoming-based registered agent for the EIN?
You need a Wyoming registered agent for the LLC itself (state requirement), but not specifically for the EIN. The EIN uses whatever mailing address you provide on the SS-4, which can be your foreign residence.
Can I use my Wyoming LLC EIN for banking outside Wyoming?
Yes. An EIN is federal and works for any U.S. business bank account, regardless of where your LLC was formed. Mercury, Relay, and Wise serve Wyoming LLCs nationwide.

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.
