Why do you charge more for U.S. non-residents (international applicants) when helping to apply for an employer identification number?
As Certifying Acceptance Agents, we can help you bypass the ITIN requirement for your EIN application. $175 USD is an extremely fair price in helping you to bypass the ITIN requirement. Obtaining an ITIN is not the easiest process. It would take time to travel to the United States, travel costs, as well as incur the fees of a U.S. notary public to notarize your identification documents for your ITIN application. Even with a U.S. notary public you would still have to navigate through all the ITIN application paperwork yourself. You could also use the services of a Certifying Acceptance Agent (like ourselves) to help take care of all the details for your ITIN application. The going rate for the services of a Certifying Acceptance Agent to acquire an ITIN can range between $150 USD to $400 USD or more. In addition, acquiring an ITIN takes at least 6-10 weeks. By using our EIN application services, you can skip the extra costs & wait time of obtaining an ITIN for your EIN application.
