EIN Validation and Formatting
The only field in place for tax format validation is for SSN, which does not work for company validation.
- EINs/FEIN is formatted as 12-3456789
- friendly messages should be prompting a user to enter in all nine characters without spaces or hyphens. Currently, I have to use SSN format in order to force the correct number of characters in the string.

Hi Kimbry,
EchoSign support regular expression-based validation. The EIN number format can be validated by using a regular expression: ^[1-9]\d?-\d{7}$
You can find an example of this at: http://regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=1990&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
Thanks

C.S. helped design a better expression that works. ^[0-9]{9}$

Wouldn't that only allow characters that are not zero? Zeroes are used in the EIN format.
