International EIN Applicants

Fax can be particularly relevant to international applicants who cannot use the IRS online EIN application. The correct IRS application method depends on the applicant's circumstances and current IRS procedures.

If you are applying from outside the United States, read our EIN for Non-US Residents guide.

How Long Does an EIN Fax Take?

The IRS currently states that taxpayers can generally receive an EIN by fax within approximately four business days when a return fax number is provided, but this is an IRS estimate rather than a guaranteed deadline.

For more information, see EIN Processing Time.
