What to Bring

A completed or to-be-completed Form W-7 for each applicant: you, your spouse and each dependent.

Your federal tax return, unless an exception applies.

A valid, unexpired passport (the only stand-alone document), OR at least two originals or copies certified by the issuing agency that together prove identity and foreign status, one with a photo. Examples include a national ID card, driver's license, U.S. state ID, USCIS photo ID, U.S. visa, foreign voter's registration card or civil birth certificate. The photo requirement has exceptions for dependents under 14, or under 18 if a student.

For dependents, proof of U.S. residency, such as a U.S. school record, U.S. medical record for a child under 6, U.S. state ID or U.S. visa. Limited exceptions apply.

For renewals, your old ITIN and the name it was issued under.

A CAA can verify dependents' passports and birth certificates only; other dependent documents are mailed with the application.

The IRS says to allow 7 weeks to be notified of your application status, or 9 to 11 weeks during tax season (January 15 to April 30) or if you applied from overseas. Timing is up to the IRS, so no one can promise a date.

What Is an ITIN Number?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain, a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have a U.S. filing or reporting requirement under the Internal Revenue Code.

Who Needs an ITIN?

ITINs are issued to individuals who do not qualify for a Social Security Number, including:

Nonresident aliens required to file a U.S. tax return

U.S. resident aliens filing a U.S. tax return

Dependents or spouses of U.S. citizens/resident aliens

Dependents or spouses of nonresident alien visa holders

Foreign students, professors, or researchers filing a U.S. tax return

Individuals earning U.S.-source income (rental, investment, etc.)
