Apply for an EIN number via fax

Are you currently working overseas but are a United States (U.S.) resident? Maybe you’re studying in a foreign company, but you may still be classified as a US resident. If you’re looking to claim income tax treaty benefits or certain other tax benefits, you may be required to provide proof of US residency. If this is the case, a US residency certificate can be obtained by completing and submitting the IRS form 8802.

Your form 8802 will need to be completed and returned to the IRS in order to receive your certificate. To ensure your form 8802 is sent and received by the IRS securely, we recommended choosing to fax your IRS form 8802 via Faxaroo.
