Obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a relatively quick process. You can apply for an EIN through the IRS website, and it's usually issued immediately upon completion of the online application. The IRS processes EIN applications Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET. If you apply by phone, fax, or mail, it may take longer, typically around 4-6 weeks. To avoid delays, it's recommended to apply online or by phone.
