How to Obtain FinCEN Identifier

To file your BOIR, each beneficial owner and reporting company should have a FinCEN identifier. Here’s how to get one:

1. Create a Login.gov Account: This is required to authenticate and obtain a FinCEN identifier.

2. Request a FinCEN Identifier on FinCEN’s Main CTA Page: You’ll need to provide the following:

   • Full legal name

   • Date of birth

   • Street address

   • A unique identifying number and issuing jurisdiction from a valid identification document (passport, state ID, or driver’s license)

   • An image of this identification document

3. Receive Your Identifier: After submitting your information, you will immediately receive a FinCEN identifier unique to you or your business. Make sure to save your login credentials, email address, and multi-factor information for future reference.

For additional guidance on who needs to obtain a FinCEN identifier, refer to the criteria below.
