What Is an EIN (Employer Identification Number)?
An EIN is a unique nine-digit number issued by the IRS to identify your business for tax purposes, think of it as a Social Security number, but for your company. It's also known as a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Federal Tax ID. Every formally registered US business needs one before it can open a bank account, hire staff, or file federal taxes.
Our EIN number registration service prepares and submits your application (IRS Form SS-4) on your behalf, checks it for the errors that most commonly cause IRS rejections or delays, and delivers your confirmed EIN straight to your inbox.
Why You Need an EIN
Opening a US Business Bank Account
Nearly every US bank requires an EIN before they'll open a business account without one, you can't separate business and personal finances, and you can't access payment platforms like Stripe.
Hiring Employees
If you plan to hire staff in the US, an EIN is mandatory for payroll tax reporting and withholding.

EIN vs. Federal Tax ID vs. FEIN vs. TIN What's the Difference?
These terms all get used interchangeably, and it causes real confusion here's the plain-English breakdown:
- EIN (Employer Identification Number) the standard term the IRS uses for a business tax ID.
- FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number) same number, same purpose, just with "Federal" added for clarity.
- Federal Tax ID a more general term for the same nine-digit number; federal tax ID registration and EIN registration are the same process.
- TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) the umbrella category. Your EIN is a type of TIN, alongside SSNs (for individuals) and ITINs (for non-SSN-eligible individuals).
if you're registering a business, you need an EIN whichever name you searched under.

How long does EIN registration take?
For applicants with a US Social Security Number, EIN registration is often completed within one business day of submission. For non-US residents without an SSN or ITIN, the IRS typically takes several weeks to process the application, since it's filed manually rather than through the instant online system.
Can I get an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
Yes. Foreign business owners can register for an EIN without a Social Security Number or ITIN. We prepare and submit the application on your behalf as your authorized third-party designee, using the IRS's process for applicants without a US taxpayer number.
Do I need to register my EIN with the state separately?
Your EIN is a federal identifier issued by the IRS, so it doesn't need separate state registration. However, most states require a separate state tax ID or account for state-level taxes (sales tax, payroll tax, etc.), which is a different registration from your EIN.
What's the difference between an EIN and a Tax ID number?
"Tax ID" is a general term that most often refers to the same number as your EIN when talking about a business. The IRS also uses "Federal Tax ID" and "FEIN" interchangeably with EIN they all point to the same nine-digit number issued to your business.
Can I apply for an EIN for an LLC or S-Corp?
Yes. We handle EIN registration for all common entity types, including single-member and multi-member LLCs, C-Corps, S-Corp elections, partnerships, and nonprofits. The information required varies slightly by entity type, and we'll guide you through the correct version of the application.
