How to form a US LLC from Argentina and bill in dollars: EXNNA guide cover, with New Mexico lit on a dotted map of the United States
New Mexico (NM), a U.S. state, lit on the map of the United States.

You can form a US LLC from Argentina in about two minutes, online, with no visa, no SSN and no ID documents. EXNNA forms it in New Mexico (NM), a U.S. state, for $200 with State fees and 12 months of registered agent included. The LLC lets you sign with clients, bill in dollars and open accounts as a U.S. company.

Why do Argentine freelancers and founders form a US LLC?

Because a lot of the work is already for clients abroad:

  • Dollar invoices. Clients in the U.S. and elsewhere pay a U.S. company.
  • Payment platforms. Argentina isn't on Stripe's list of supported countries; a US LLC from Argentina can apply for a U.S. Stripe account instead.
  • One company for every contract. Clients, platforms and suppliers deal with the LLC, and its obligations stay with it, within the limits of the law.

Taxes depend on where you live and what the LLC does, not on the State where it is formed.

What do you need to form a US LLC from Argentina?

A company name, two backup names, the number of members and an email. Members' details are optional. New Mexico's Articles of Organization, the filing that creates the company, don't list owners, so the public record shows EXNNA and our registered agent, not you.

How does a US LLC from Argentina get paid?

StepWhat to do
EINGet the LLC's IRS tax number; no SSN needed
Business accountOpen a U.S. account in the LLC's name
PaymentsApply to Stripe or other providers as a U.S. company

Start with how to get an EIN without an SSN, compare Mercury vs Wise for a U.S. LLC, and read what a Stripe account for non-residents asks for. Each provider runs its own checks and decides.

What does it cost, and how do you pay?

$200 in total, with the $50 New Mexico State fee and 12 months of registered agent included. EIN assistance is +$50 with the formation. You pay by card, online, in U.S. dollars or your local currency where available. After the first year, the agent renews at $99 a year, only if you renew; New Mexico charges no annual State fee.
