I hope the following can give you some clues to where you get what you need -- RE: Verifying EINs
The USA PATRIOT Act and the Know your customer rules of financial institutions require that they verify and authenticate an account holders Tax ID Number or Employer identification number (EIN) prior to opening a financial account. The accounts are linked to the EIN for Tax reporting purposes. Accountants, Tax preparers and anyone in business should also verify a vendors EIN Tax ID Number when opening a subcontractor account or issuing payments. The EIN should also be verified on IRS W-9 Forms. A useful and comprehensive searchable databases are maintained by several private firms linked below, the largest of which is FEINSearch.com
Larger financial institutions may run periodic KYV or AML (Anti Money Laundering) audits during the year and run batch scans or batch verifications of officer SSN and entity EIN reported numbers.
All of these measures are healthy and industry accepted AML and KYC procedures.
EINfinder.com lists 7 million EINs. The first three searches are free. Additional searches are available on a subscription basis.
FEINSearch.com lists 12.5 million EINs. The first few searches are free. Additional searches are available on a subscription basis.
Melissadata provides free searches, by organization name or ZIP code, of a database of over 1.3 million nonprofits' EIN numbers.
Since EINs are not confidential, you should be able to get the information you require quickly.
