# Change your federal tax ID

Find the correct process for updating your business federal tax ID.

Use the scenario that matches your business change.

### Your federal tax ID changed after an ownership change

Follow the Change of Ownership process.

### Your federal tax ID changed after a business structure change

We must enroll your business under its new structure.

Contact our sales representative, software application support, or account agent to start a new application.

Processing typically takes 24 to 48 hours after we receive the application.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.xplorpay.com/account-settings/change-your-federal-tax-id.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
