A replacement EIN confirmation (often Letter 147C) can be requested from the IRS after they verify your identity and business details. If you’re trying to get a copy of your “SS-4 letter,” you’re usually trying to get one of two things: A copy of what you filed (Form SS-4), or Official proof of the EIN
