Question

I'm non US resident but have formed an LLC in WY and now I need to obtain an EIN. Having no SSN/ITIN or other LLC's EIN it is somehow difficult.
On the other hand applying online takes 7 minutes. Can anybody help me? I will pay for your assistance but need the EIN by Monday.

You do not need a SSN or ITIN to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN).

I have obtained EIN’s for multiple foreign clients without Social Security Numbers or ITIN.

In my post, http://www.mollaeilaw.com/blog/how-can-a-foreign-company-obtain-an-employer-identification-number-ein-in-united-states, I provide detailed instructions that anyone can use to apply for an EIN as a foreign business without a Social Security Number or ITIN.

Best of luck!
