Are you sure about social security number though? Here is an excerpt:

"U.S. residents will likely need a Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN) to start their business. This process requires a Social Security number. For foreign businesses, an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may be used instead of a Social Security number. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues these tax processing numbers to individuals who are required to pay U.S. taxes but are not eligible for a Social Security number. Residents and non-resident aliens as well as foreign nationals fall into this category."

If I was in OP's shoes... I would google Delaware accountants, find one, and ask them if they would be willing to setup a business account for them so they can get an EIN number (not an attorney).

Go to bizfilings and use them for registered agent only.

Between the two I'm sure a business could be opened so those who want to bill, can. If you bill worldwide, makes no sense that you can't incorporate worldwide.

I have no knowledge of bizfilings.com and their credibility... probably worth some research.
