Do I need an SSN or ITIN?

No. You can form the LLC and get an EIN without a US Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). International applicants apply for the EIN with Form SS-4 by phone, fax or mail. An ITIN is needed only in some personal tax situations, and we offer it as an add-on.
