Yes, you can form a US LLC from Brazil without leaving home. The whole order is online, takes about two minutes and needs no visa, no SSN and no ID documents. With EXNNA your company is formed in New Mexico (NM), a U.S. state, for $200 with the State fee and 12 months of registered agent included.

Why do Brazilians form a US LLC?

To sell abroad as a company and get paid in dollars. The usual profiles:

  • Developers and designers billing U.S. and European clients.
  • Ecommerce and SaaS founders selling globally through U.S. platforms.
  • Creators and agencies receiving from international partners.

A U.S. LLC signs the contracts, sends the invoices and holds dollar accounts in its own name. Taxes depend on where you live and what the LLC does, not on the State where you form it. The same path works from Argentina and anywhere else.

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

Very little:

  1. A company name and two backups.
  2. The number of members.
  3. An email address.

Member details are optional. You don't need a U.S. address: the registered agent, the official U.S. contact that receives the LLC's legal mail, comes with your order for the first 12 months.

How much does a US LLC from Brazil cost?

$200 in total. That covers New Mexico's $50 State filing fee, 12 months of registered agent and an Operating Agreement in PDF and editable DOCX. You pay by card, online, in U.S. dollars or your local currency, where available.

After formation, New Mexico asks for no annual report and no annual State fee. The registered agent renews at $99 a year, only if you renew. The full list is in what an LLC really costs.

How does a US LLC from Brazil get an EIN?

The EIN is your LLC's tax ID with the IRS, the number banks and payment providers ask for. You don't need an SSN to get one; the path is in how to get an EIN without an SSN. With EXNNA, EIN assistance is $50 with your formation or $79 later, and your LLC documents never wait for it.

Can you open a dollar account from Brazil?

The LLC opens business accounts in its own name with U.S. banks and fintechs. Each one runs its own checks, including on the owners, and decides. You'll usually show the Articles of Organization, the Operating Agreement and the EIN. The options are in a U.S. bank account for a non-resident LLC.

Is your name public?

No. New Mexico's Articles of Organization don't have to list owners or managers, and EXNNA signs as organizer. The public record shows the company, its Business ID and the registered agent, not you.

How long does it take?

About two minutes to order. The State usually approves in 1–3 business days, and the documents are in your dashboard the moment the LLC is formed. See our pricing or form your LLC online now.
