How to Set Up a Verified U.S. Stripe Account as a Non-Resident

If your country is not supported by Stripe, or your local gateway imposes restrictive transaction limits and high currency-conversion fees, setting up a U.S. Stripe account through a U.S. LLC is the most reliable, legal solution.

Checklist

4 Exact Requirements for U.S. Stripe Approval:

Registered U.S. Company (LLC):

Your official Articles of Organization from Wyoming or Delaware prove your legal corporate existence.

Official IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN):

Stripe verifies your business tax ID directly against IRS databases. You enter your EIN under the "Company Tax ID" field.

U.S. Business Checking Account:

A USD business account (via Mercury or Relay) with standard ACH routing and account numbers for daily payouts.

Valid Identity Document:

Your international passport from your home country (India, UAE, UK, Nigeria, etc.) is 100% accepted for identity verification.

The SSN Field Workaround

How to handle the "SSN" field on Stripe: When signing up for a U.S. Stripe account as a non-resident, select your home country for your personal identity, enter your foreign passport number, and enter your 9-digit IRS EIN for the business entity. Do not use fake SSNs.
