How long does it take to obtain a U.S. EIN when the application is submitted by fax?

When an EIN application (Form SS-4) is submitted to the IRS by fax, processing typically takes about 6-8 weeks before the EIN is issued.

Is a U.S. company's EIN available immediately upon incorporation?

No. A U.S. company can be incorporated (certificate issued) before its EIN is available. The EIN is issued separately by the IRS and may take additional time to arrive after incorporation.

Can a U.S. company obtain an EIN if no director has a U.S. SSN, and what happens after it is issued?

Yes. A U.S. company can obtain an EIN even when none of its directors has a U.S. Social Security Number. After the IRS issues the EIN, it mails a confirmation letter (CP 575) to the company, which typically arrives within about 30 days.
