Can a non-US founder incorporate a Delaware C-Corp?

Incorporation & entity structure

Yes. No visa, US address, or SSN is required to incorporate or to own shares.

You need a registered agent with a Delaware address, and you can obtain an EIN without a US tax ID by filing Form SS-4 by fax. India-resident owners should check whether FEMA requires an LLP holding structure first.

We handle this for founders running US companies.

Check your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) first. If that is gone, look at a previously filed tax return, a business bank account application, or any 1099 you have issued. Your bank or your payroll provider will also have it on file.
