Your U.S. Business Questions, Documented
Every answer here reflects an actual filing or platform workflow. No general legal opinion — only the specific steps NokhbaTicks executes for international founders.
Can a non-U.S. resident form an LLC?
Yes. U.S. federal law imposes no citizenship or residency requirement for LLC formation. NokhbaTicks handles the state filing, registered agent requirement, and operating agreement for non-residents.
How do I get an EIN without a U.S. Social Security Number?
Non-residents apply via IRS Form SS-4 by fax or mail. NokhbaTicks prepares and submits the form on your behalf, typically returning a confirmed EIN within 4–6 weeks.
Why do I need a registered agent?
Every U.S. LLC must maintain a registered agent with a physical in-state address to receive legal notices. NokhbaTicks provides this address and forwards all official correspondence to you.
Is a virtual address accepted for platform verification?
Yes, when paired with the correct documentation. Our virtual address service is matched to the same address on file with the state and IRS, which satisfies Amazon, TikTok Shop, and eBay verification checks.
What documents does Amazon require from a non-resident?
Amazon's verification requires LLC formation documents, EIN confirmation, a U.S. business address, and a compliant bank account. NokhbaTicks assembles this document set and submits it in the correct sequence.
How long does the full formation process take?
State LLC approval takes 5–15 business days depending on the state. EIN issuance adds 4–6 weeks by IRS mail. Platform verification follows once both are confirmed — the full workflow typically runs 6–8 weeks.
