The IRS Does Not Reissue CP 575 Letters
If you have lost your CP 575, the IRS will not send a replacement. This is a one-time document.
Request a 147C Verification Letter Instead
Call 1-800-829-4933 (domestic) or 267-941-1099 (international). The 147C confirms your EIN, entity name, and type. Banks and institutions accept it as equivalent to the CP 575.
