How to Form a US LLC from Pakistan in 2026
Forming a US LLC from Pakistan is one of the most powerful moves an online entrepreneur can make in 2026. It unlocks Stripe, PayPal Business, US business banking, and access to global clients who prefer paying a US-registered company.
Choose the right state. Wyoming offers the lowest annual fees, strong privacy and no state income tax for non-residents. Delaware is preferred if you ever plan to raise venture capital. For 95% of freelancers and agencies, Wyoming is the better pick.
Appoint a registered agent. As a non-US resident you legally need a registered agent with a physical address in your chosen state. Spark Digital includes a full year of registered agent service with every formation package.
File the Articles of Organization. We file your LLC directly with the Secretary of State. Approval typically arrives within 24–72 hours for Wyoming.
Apply for an EIN. The IRS issues an Employer Identification Number to non-US founders via Form SS-4. Without an SSN or ITIN this is faxed in, and approval takes 4–6 weeks. We handle the entire process for you.
Open a business bank account. Mercury, Relay, and Wise Business all accept non-resident LLC owners. We onboard you to the bank that best fits your business model.
Stay compliant. Wyoming requires an annual report (US$60) and your registered agent must be renewed yearly. Spark Digital sends reminders and handles renewals for you.
