Common questions
What you need to form a US LLC from Pakistan, get your EIN, and keep your company in good standing.
Can I form a US LLC while living in Pakistan?
Yes. An LLC is a limited liability company formed under US state law. Pakistani founders can generally form one remotely by choosing a state, filing there and keeping a registered agent in that state. Banks and payment providers set their own eligibility rules. Read the US LLC formation guide
What do I need to start my US LLC application?
Have your contact details, proposed company name and a short description of your business ready. Tell us if the business already operates through another company. We’ll request supporting documents when we need them for filing.
What is an EIN, and is it the same as an ITIN?
An EIN is an Employer Identification Number issued by the IRS to identify a business for federal tax purposes. An ITIN is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number for a person. The LLC application and the EIN application are separate, and the state filing comes first. See how to apply for an EIN from Pakistan
Can I apply for an EIN without an SSN or ITIN?
The IRS provides a Form SS-4 procedure for international applicants. If the responsible party has no SSN or ITIN and is ineligible for one, the IRS instructions allow “foreign” or “N/A” on the relevant line. Read the international EIN steps
Can I use Stripe with a US LLC from Pakistan?
Your US LLC gives you a legal business to apply with. Stripe reviews your business, representative, operating address and payout details separately. Check your eligibility before building checkout around Stripe. See what Stripe verifies
Which businesses can form an LLC?
Software companies, freelancers, consultants, agencies and online stores are common examples. If you do regulated or licensed work, check the rules in the state where you plan to form.
What if my business is already registered in Pakistan?
Tell us where it’s registered during sign-up. Apni LLC forms a separate US company. Decide which entity will sign contracts, issue invoices and receive payments, and discuss the arrangement with your adviser.
How long does LLC formation take?
We estimate 7–14 days for the state filing. The IRS issues the EIN separately after formation, and timing varies by application method. We’ll send the number when it’s issued.
What do the two plans include?
Formation costs PKR 55,000 and includes state filing, an EIN application and a registered agent for the first year. Formation Plus costs PKR 98,000 and adds a US mailing address with mail scanning for one year, an operating agreement template and filing reminders. Compare plans
Is a US mailing address the same as a registered agent?
Your registered agent receives legal and official notices. Formation Plus includes a separate US mailing address and digital mail scanning for one year. The mailing address renews separately, and providers may ask for your actual operating address. Compare the address types
What do I need to keep up with after my LLC is formed?
Keep the registered agent current, track your state’s renewal dates and retain your formation documents, EIN confirmation and financial records. Ask a cross-border adviser which US and Pakistani filings apply even if the business hasn’t earned revenue. See the post-formation checklist
