Founder Identity Verification and Notarization
In certain instances, we will use our online notarization service to validate the identity of the founder or company representative via identity document verification conducted by an online notary public. This process is required in certain instances to obtain your U.S. business address in order to file your company with the State.
ID Verification
In order to associate a company founder with a US business address we first need to verify the identity of the founder. This is required to verify and submit United States Postal form USPS-1583 to the USPS.
Notarization
We utilize an online notarization platform, that allows you to present your identity documents to a notary public and have them verify your identity in real time, online using a webcam and microphone.
U.S. Address
Once your identity as the company founder or associate has been verified, we will then work to obtain a U.S. business address with mail forwarding capabilities to facilitate formation of our U.S. business.

Identity Notarization
In certain cases for your company formation, we will use an online notarization service to validate your identity as the company founder or representative. To complete this simple process we use a online notarization platform provided by our partner, Notarize, the online notary public. This helps us verify the identity of the company founders.
US Business Address
To open a company in the United States, you are required to have a US business address in the state of incorporation. Once step 1 has been completed, we will obtain a registered business address for you in the state of your company formation. This address serves as a business address and registered mail forwarding address.
Filing Documents with State
For step 3 in your company formation, the filling of incorporation documents with the state or federal government is required. As part of our U.S company formation services we will file these documents on your behalf. This is part of our incorporation service.
Obtaining an EIN Tax ID
An EIN Tax ID is required by the IRS and U.S Banks to track your business associated income and operate your business legally. As part of our U.S business formation services we will obtain an EIN on your behalf. This is part of our incorporation service.
Registered Agent Services
If you’re forming a corporation or a limited liability company, you’ll need to select a registered agent for your business and provide the agent’s name and address on the formation documents you file with the state. We can provide this service on your behalf. We offer registered agent services in 50 states.
Bylaws and Resolutions
Bylaws and resolutions are the initial decisions of your corporation’s board of directors and basic "operating rules" of your corporation. As part of our U.S company formation services we will provide initial drafts of these on your behalf. This is part of our incorporation service.
U.S Business Bank Account
Foreigners (non-U.S. residents) can open a U.S. business bank account for their company. You don’t have to be an American or a U.S. resident to open a business bank account in the U.S. There are 2 main options for foreigners who need to open an account, in person or via an international branch.
