If you have a U.S. social security number (SSN), you can receive an EIN the same day your company is formed.
your EIN number online from the IRS website
Please note:
Not every US resident has an SSN. If you do not have an SSN, you must obtain the EIN number for your company by applying by mail or fax.
Do not obtain an EIN on another relative who has an SSN. In this case, you will have problems opening a bank account or paying taxes in the future.
