What is a FinCEN Identifier & How Can I Use It?

Question:  What is a FinCEN Identifier?

Answer: A “FinCEN identifier” is a unique identifying number that FinCEN will issue to an individual or reporting company upon request after the individual or reporting company provides certain information to FinCEN.

  • An individual or reporting company is not required to obtain a FinCEN identifier.
  • An individual or reporting company may only receive one FinCEN identifier.
  • Your company may include FinCEN identifiers in its BOI report instead of certain required information about beneficial owners or company applicants.
