Employer Identification Number (EIN) Service

Filings SS4 Application for Employer Identification Number EIN

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) aka "Corporate Federal Taxpayer ID Number" is a nine-digit number that the IRS assigns to business entities.  The number is required if you wish to open a bank account in the US or if you will employ wage earning employees in the US.

If your company is physically located within the United States, the IRS requires the Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) of a principal of the company for application purposes.  If a subsidiary, the company may alternately provide the EIN of the parent company for the purposes of this application.  If you are able to provide the required information, including the principal's name exactly as it appears on the principal's social security card, in most cases we will be able to email your IRS issued EIN Confirmation Letter the same day payment is received.

If your company is not physically located within the US, DBI can obtain an EIN for your company without a Social Security number, but the application process may take up to 3-5 days.
