EIN Verification Letter Assistance for U.S. and Foreign Business Owners.

A straightforward four-step process.
Send a general inquiry
Use our inquiry form to tell us you need a 147C letter. Do not include Social Security numbers, banking details, or sensitive documents. This first step does not submit a request to the IRS.
Complete secure intake and authorization
After reviewing your inquiry, we provide secure instructions for the required business information and documents. You complete the required authorization and engagement steps before we contact the IRS.
We contact the IRS
Once secure intake and the required authorization and engagement steps are complete, we contact the IRS to request your 147C letter.

If authorized and permitted by the IRS, we receive the letter and deliver it to you securely.
You need it if you:
We act only as a third-party designee to help you obtain your IRS-issued documentation. We are an independent service not affiliated with the IRS. We are not the IRS. The 147C letter is issued solely by the IRS. Our fee covers assistance only.
You may request a 147C directly from the IRS at no cost. Here.
Our $100 service fee is for handling the verification process, phone submission, designee authorization, and document delivery.
We contact the IRS after secure intake and the required authorization and engagement steps are complete. Sending an inquiry alone does not authorize us to act or submit a request to the IRS. IRS processing time varies.
Before you request your EIN letter.
Do I need to know my EIN before using this service?
Yes. You must already know your business’s EIN. Our $100 service helps you request a 147C letter confirming an existing EIN; it does not include finding an unknown EIN or applying for a new one.
What if I do not know my EIN?
Check your original IRS EIN notice, prior business tax returns, or the bank where you opened your business account. If you still cannot find it, an authorized person can contact the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line at 800-829-4933. The IRS verifies identity before providing the number. See the IRS instructions for a lost or forgotten EIN. Once you know the EIN, you can inquire about our letter-request service.
What information will you need?
During secure intake, we request your existing EIN, legal business name, address on IRS records, and information identifying the person authorized to act for the business. We may request supporting records to clarify your business details or authority. Start with a general inquiry only; we will provide a tailored checklist and secure submission instructions. Do not send identification documents, Social Security numbers, banking details, or sensitive tax records through the general inquiry form.
What authorization is required?
A person authorized to act for the business must complete the authorization needed for us to communicate with the IRS. We provide the applicable instructions after reviewing your inquiry and business details. Sending an inquiry alone does not authorize us to act, establish an engagement, or submit a request to the IRS.
How will I receive my letter?
After the IRS provides the 147C letter to us, we forward an electronic copy through the secure delivery method arranged during intake. Delivery instructions are confirmed before we proceed. The inquiry form itself does not generate or download an IRS letter.
How long does the service take?
Timing depends on complete intake information, valid authorization, IRS phone availability, identity verification, and whether IRS records need clarification. We can contact the IRS only after the required intake, authorization, and engagement steps are complete. IRS processing and delivery times vary; same-day completion is not guaranteed. Tell us about any deadline when you inquire.
Can you assist non-U.S. residents?
Yes. ARBSTAX may be able to assist non-U.S. residents who own or represent a U.S. business with an existing EIN. Assistance is subject to identity verification, IRS records, valid authorization, and applicable IRS procedures.
Can you help if I do not have an SSN or ITIN?
Not having an SSN or ITIN does not automatically prevent assistance when the U.S. entity already has an EIN. Eligibility and acceptable authorization depend on the entity type, the person authorized to act, IRS records, and IRS requirements. We review these details before accepting the engagement.
Can you assist a foreign-owned U.S. LLC?
Potentially, yes. The LLC must already have an EIN, and an appropriate authorized person must be able to complete the required IRS authorization. This service does not include applying for a new EIN or locating an unknown EIN.
Can an IRS Letter 147C be used for bank or KYB verification?
An IRS Letter 147C verifies the EIN and business name shown in IRS records and may be requested by banks, payment platforms, or other organizations during business or Know Your Business (KYB) verification. Each institution sets its own requirements, so ARBSTAX cannot guarantee that a particular bank or platform will accept the letter.
Price: $100 Flat Fee
Start with a general inquiry. Secure intake and the required authorization follow before we contact the IRS. The inquiry form does not complete your 147C request or establish a professional engagement.
