Where to look in Florida
- Sunbiz record search. Search by name, officer or registered agent, document number, ZIP code, street address or FEI/EIN.
- More than one company can appear under a single number, because the field is self-reported and related companies often share one. Read the name on each result before relying on it.
- Florida's annual report asks for the number, which is how it reaches the record. See the full guide to Sunbiz EIN lookups for what each value means and how to add yours.
Florida numbers that get mistaken for an EIN
None of these is the nine-digit federal number unless the table says so. A bank, payroll company or client asking for your EIN wants the one the IRS issued.
| Used for | Issued by | The number |
|---|---|---|
| Company formation | Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) | document number, for example L26000449593 |
| State income tax withholding | None | Florida does not tax wages |
| Unemployment insurance | Florida Department of Revenue | Reemployment tax account number, 7 digits |
| Sales tax | Florida Department of Revenue | Sales tax Certificate of Registration |
Finding your own Florida company’s EIN
Start with the CP 575 letter the IRS sent when the number was issued, then a past federal return, your bank’s account paperwork and your payroll provider. If none of those has it, the responsible party can call the IRS and ask for a 147C letter. Do not apply again to replace a lost number: a second application creates a second EIN for the same company.
Finding another Florida company’s EIN
If you pay them, ask for a Form W-9: it is the normal way to get the number, and you need it for a 1099 anyway. Nonprofits are in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search, and public companies print theirs on SEC filings. For a private Florida company with no reason to give it to you, there is no free public source that is complete. To check a number you were given, see how to verify an EIN.
Florida EIN lookup questions
Does Florida have an EIN lookup?
The EIN is federal, so the IRS issues it and Florida does not. Florida is the exception: Sunbiz records have an FEI/EIN Number field, and you can search by that number. The field shows what the company reported, so it can read NONE or APPLIED FOR on a company that has an EIN.
Is my Florida document number my EIN?
No. The document number comes from the Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) and identifies your company in state records. The EIN comes from the IRS, and a bank or payroll company asking for one will not accept the state number.
I formed my Florida company but never got an EIN. What now?
Forming the company does not create an EIN. You apply separately with the IRS on Form SS-4, or a service like ours prepares and files it for you. If you might already have one, check first: applying again gives the same company a second number.
