The Address Mismatch KYC Flag

In this video

The three places your US business address appears: SS-4, state LLC filing, bank application
Banks don't just check the address is real — they check all three match
A typo or an old registered agent address is its own KYC flag

Gemini Summary

Your US business address shows up in three places — your SS-4 (EIN application), your state LLC filing, and your bank application — and banks check that all three match, not just that the address is real. A single typo or an old registered agent address becomes its own KYC flag, separate from the EIN check. The fix is one real US business address, identical everywhere, matching where your CP 575 lands.

Notes

Your US business address shows up in three places: your SS-4 (EIN application), your state LLC filing, and your bank application. Banks don't just verify the address is real — they check that all three match. One typo, or one leftover registered agent address, becomes its own KYC flag, separate from the EIN check.

Non-resident founders using a registered agent address or a cheap virtual mailbox get flagged on sight. The fix is boring but decisive: one real US business address, identical everywhere — the same address where your CP 575 lands.
