What is the best way to obtain a corporate ein number while staying anomymous?

There is no way, you have to file for it, by the exact methods the IRS require. And if you own a corporation it will be filed publicly as to who is the owner or at least who the registered agent is.

Hello monty:

The Padre is right. It's like trying to get a social security number and remain anonymous. It ain't going to happen.
