    No, it is federal law that B/Ds have tax id numbers on file for each customer
    However, you can open an account using a federal tax id number which is totally different than a social security number.

    No. As above, a tax ID is required for all financial transactions in the US. Since 9/11 & the Patriot Act these laws have become extremely tough and allow for zero exceptions.

    No. U.S. tax laws require brokerages to collect that information.

    No! You can always open an online account in your own country and access it from anywhere…..good luck :)
