No Employer ID number

I live in a foreign country and work for a foreign company.

I got the equivalent of this country's W-2 but, of course, it does not have an Employer ID number and probably doesn't even have one that's recognizable by the IRS.

What should I put in the mandatory EIN spot on the online W-2 form?
