For Non-US Persons

ITIN — Individual Taxpayer Identification Number

What it is

A 9-digit tax ID issued by the IRS to non-US persons who have a US tax obligation but are not eligible for a Social Security Number.

Who needs it

Non-US owners of US LLCs with US-sourced income, individuals filing US tax returns, or those needing certain US bank accounts.

Processing time

6–12 weeks. We state this honestly — do not engage any service that "guarantees" faster IRS timelines.

What HN handles

Application preparation, Certifying Acceptance Agent certification of your documents (no need to mail original passport), and IRS follow-up.

After LLC Formation

US Banking for Non-Residents

Traditional US banks (Chase, Bank of America) are generally difficult for non-resident LLC owners. Online banks are the practical solution:

MercuryRECOMMENDED

Online-first, non-resident friendly. Best option for most clients.

Relay

Small business focus. Good for expense tracking and sub-accounts.

Wise Business

Multi-currency accounts. Excellent for receiving international payments.

⚠️ Note: Traditional US banks (Chase, BoA) are difficult for non-residents and often require in-person visits. We recommend starting with Mercury.

Common Questions

FAQ — US LLC & ITIN

Do I need to visit the US to form an LLC?
No. The entire process is done remotely. You do not need a US visa, travel, or physical presence at any stage.
LLC vs. sole proprietorship — which is better for Pakistanis?
An LLC provides liability protection and is required by most payment processors. A sole prop offers none of these. For any serious business activity, LLC is the correct choice.
What is an ITIN and do I need one?
ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is issued by the IRS to non-US persons with a US tax obligation. You typically need one if you have US-sourced income, open certain bank accounts, or file a US tax return.
What is a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA)?
A CAA is IRS-authorized to certify your original identity documents for ITIN applications, eliminating the need to mail original passports to the IRS. HN Associate is a certified CAA.
How long does ITIN processing take?
The IRS takes 6–12 weeks to process ITIN applications. We do not promise faster timelines. We submit your application correctly to avoid rejections and follow up with the IRS as needed.
What are the annual obligations after forming a US LLC?
Typically: annual state filing fee (e.g., $60 for Wyoming), registered agent fee (~$50–$100/year), and US tax return (Form 1120/1065 depending on structure). We advise on your specific obligations.
Can a Pakistani national open a US bank account?
Yes, with a US LLC + EIN. Online banks like Mercury and Relay accept non-resident LLC owners. Traditional banks (Chase, BoA) are generally difficult for non-residents — we recommend online alternatives.
What happens if my ITIN application is delayed or rejected?
IRS rejections are usually due to documentation errors. As a CAA, we certify your documents correctly to minimize this risk. If delayed, we track the application and liaise with the IRS on your behalf.
