A bank acount that belongs to a trust as opposed to an individual sometimes (but not always) needs an EIN (Employer Identification Number) because in the eyes of the IRS the trust is an income earning and taxpaying legal entity of its own. This is not true if the trust is a "grantor" trust -- a technical term that basically means that the trust is either revocable or provides benefits for the person who established the trust. Banks will not open accounts in the name of a trust without a tax ID number -- either the grantor's Social Security number (if it is a grantor trust) or the trust's Employer Identification Number (EIN) if it is not. The IRS will issue an EIN on application of the trustee or the trustee's lawyer or accountant. The form for requesting an EIN for a trust is an SS-4 form, and it can be completed online at www.irs.gov.

Is using an ein number legal to obtain credit and not use your personal score?
IF you disclose everything including the fact that you are substituting a EIN in place of a social and it is accepted then yes. If you are applying for Business credit with the EIN and everything is disclosed truthfully then yes. If you are misrepresenting/misleading you are probably committing fraud. There are alot of people adding their names onto seasoned accounts with new EIN numbers to get a credit score and then proceeding to apply for new credit. Keep in mind that if you default, you will most likely get caught and could get in serious legal/criminal trouble.

Can Trust Numbers Be SSNs?
You have to call the IRS or go on its website (On the Internet, it will be given to you in minutes). and apply for a number. It is not a social security number. You will have to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the trust . (as I recall, it is nine digits, like 12-3456789, not like a social security number reads 123-45-6789). If it is a trust set up in a will (which I am more familiar with), you will need some basic information, like name of decedent, name of trustees, addresses, social security numbers, date of death, etc.
