Enter the legal company name
Use the entity name rather than a product, storefront, or website name whenever possible.
US EIN LOOKUP
Find an EIN by company name.
See the company behind it.
Search a US legal company name, optionally add a state, and review the source-reported EIN or tax ID available in its Global Database record.

WHEN TO USE IT
Distinguish the correct US entity before taking an EIN from a company-data record.
Use the lookup as an entity-identification step. Keep the input, returned company details, source, and retrieval time in context.
- A vendor profile is missing an EIN but contains the legal company name.
- Several LLCs or corporations share a similar name across different states.
- You need to compare a source-reported EIN with a W-9 or onboarding document.
THE WORKFLOW
Four steps. One clear result boundary.
Add a state when useful
The optional state field helps narrow similarly named companies across US jurisdictions.
Match the company record
Compare the legal name, state, registration number, address, and company status.
Review the reported EIN
Treat the EIN as a field in the matched company record, then compare it with documentation from the business.

READ THE RESULT CORRECTLY
An EIN lookup is not IRS verification.
The IRS does not provide a universal public reverse directory for private-company EINs. VATFind searches company data and must not be read as an IRS TIN Match, confirmation of tax compliance, or proof that a person is authorised to use the EIN.
