EIN for Florida LLC Non-Residents — Doral Business Address Guide 2026

Step-by-Step: How Non-Residents Get an EIN for a Florida LLC in 2026

The process has four clear steps. Follow them in order and you will have your EIN in your hands within days — not months.

Step 1 — Register your LLC on Sunbiz: Before applying for an EIN, your Florida LLC must exist. File Articles of Organization at sunbiz.org. The Florida state filing fee is $125. You will receive an approval document (typically within 1-5 business days) with your official LLC name and document number.

Step 2 — Secure a US business address: Form SS-4 requires a valid US mailing address where the IRS can send your EIN confirmation letter (CP575). A virtual office in Doral at Work Together Center (7500 NW 25th ST Suite 237, Doral FL 33122) is fully accepted. At $49/month, it costs far less than renting physical space and gives your LLC a credible Doral address for all official mail, including IRS correspondence that we scan and forward to you digitally.

Step 3 — Complete Form SS-4: Download Form SS-4 from irs.gov. Fill in your LLC name, date of formation, business purpose, number of members, responsible party (the foreign owner), and the US business address. For the "Responsible Party" section, non-residents use their foreign tax ID number or passport information. Leave the SSN/ITIN field blank if you do not have one — the IRS has a separate international procedure.

Step 4 — Submit to the IRS via international phone or fax: Non-residents cannot use the IRS online EIN application (it requires a US SSN/ITIN). Instead, call the IRS international line at +1-267-941-1099 (Monday–Friday, 6 am–11 pm EST) or fax Form SS-4 to +1-855-641-6935. Phone applications receive the EIN the same day. Fax applications typically receive the EIN within 4 business days.

Important Notes on the Responsible Party

The IRS defines the "Responsible Party" as the individual who controls, manages, or directs the LLC and its financial dealings. For a single-member foreign-owned LLC, this is typically the owner. You must provide their name and a foreign tax ID (e.g., passport number or home country tax ID) — or, if they have one, an ITIN. If you already have an ITIN from prior US tax filings, using it simplifies the process considerably. Visit our FAQ page for additional guidance on ITIN applications.

Why Your Business Address in Doral Matters for EIN and Banking

The address you put on Form SS-4 is the address where your IRS confirmation letter (CP575) will arrive. If you use a foreign address, delivery is uncertain and can take 6-8 weeks. If you use a US virtual office address, the letter arrives in 1-2 weeks, we scan it the day it arrives, and you have your EIN number that same afternoon — regardless of where in the world you are sitting.

Traditional US office lease: $1,500-$3,000/month minimum + security deposit + utility deposits = roughly $20,000-$40,000 commitment per year just to have a US address.

Virtual office at Work Together Center: $49/month = $588/year. Includes a professional business address at 7500 NW 25th ST Suite 237, Doral FL 33122, mail receipt and notification, scanning and digital forwarding, package handling from all carriers, and access to conference rooms at member rates when you visit Doral. That $588 annual cost unlocks the ability to open a US bank account, receive your EIN letter, register on Sunbiz, and build a credible business presence in South Florida.

Which Banks Accept a Doral Virtual Office Address for LLC Accounts?

Based on our members' experience, the following banks have accepted Work Together Center's address for business account applications: Chase Business Banking, Bank of America Business Advantage, Wells Fargo Business Checking, Citibank Business, and several Florida community banks. Each bank has its own documentation requirements — typically the EIN letter (CP575), LLC Articles of Organization from Sunbiz, Operating Agreement, and two forms of ID. Our membership plans include a formal address verification letter you can present at the bank. See pricing options for full plan details.
