How to Open a Brokerage Account in the U.S. Without a Green Card?

Opening a brokerage account in the U.S. without a green card is entirely legal but requires compliance with a number of requirements and procedures that vary depending on the chosen financial institution. This service is particularly relevant for entrepreneurs, investors, IT professionals, and those working remotely who wish to invest in stocks, funds, ETFs, or cryptocurrencies without having U.S. resident status.

 

What Is Included in the Legal Service for Opening a Brokerage Account Without an SSN?

Our attorneys guide you through every step of the process, providing a comprehensive "turnkey" service that includes:

  1. Assessing your legal status and selecting a broker that works with non-residents without an SSN.
  2. Preparing a document package for KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.
  3. Obtaining or assisting with the ITIN application process (if needed).
  4. Legal assistance in filling out tax forms (including W-8BEN).
  5. Communicating with the broker or financial institution on your behalf.
  •  

Why Should You Engage a Lawyer to Open a Brokerage Account?

Attempts to open an account independently often result in rejection due to errors in forms, incomplete documentation, or compliance failures. A lawyer helps by:

  1. Minimizing the risk of rejection by the broker.
  2. Ensuring compliance with U.S. tax laws.
  3. Selecting a brokerage platform that genuinely works with foreigners without a green card or SSN.
  •  

When and Under What Conditions Can You Open a U.S. Brokerage Account Without Resident Status?

Legal support allows you to open a brokerage account even in cases where:

  1. You do not have an SSN or green card but possess a foreign passport and proof of residential address.
  2. You are a citizen of Ukraine, the EU, or another jurisdiction not under sanctions.
  3. Your income is legally obtained, and you can provide proof of funds.

 

How Does the Support Process Work?

After an initial consultation, we create a customized action plan:

  • Situation analysis and platform selection (TD Ameritrade, Interactive Brokers, etc.).
  • Document preparation and application filing.
  • Identity verification and responding to broker inquiries.
  • Account opening support and optional ongoing investment activity consultation.

Benefits of Opening a U.S. Brokerage Account for Non-Residents

  • Access to stable U.S. financial instruments.
  • Asset protection in a reliable jurisdiction.
  • Opportunity to build credit history or manage a company through investment accounts.
