Foreign business owners who want to open a Meow business account may be concerned about SSN requirements during the application process. This is a common question for international entrepreneurs who have U.S.-registered businesses but don't possess a U.S. Social Security Number.

Answer

Yes, you can open a Meow business account without a Social Security Number (SSN). While an SSN is not required, you will need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to proceed with account setup.

To complete your application, you'll need to provide:

1. An EIN letter from the IRS

2. Your business formation document (such as Articles of Organization or Certificate of Formation)

3. Valid passport for identity verification

4. Proof of business ownership and activity

For address verification purposes, you may use legitimate alternatives to a U.S. residential address, such as:

• The registered business address listed on your Articles of Organization

• A commercial virtual office or mail-forwarding address (with documentation)

• The registered agent address on file for your business

The application process typically takes less than 10 minutes to complete once you have all the required documentation ready.
