How to Obtain Your ITIN

Announcing Our Certifying Acceptance Agent Status

Do you need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)? If so, we are happy to announce that our Chief Operations Officer, Ramon Santos, is able to assist you with your application. An ITIN is used for foreigners and individuals who do not possess a Social Security Number but still need to be identified in tax documents. Examples of this situation include non-residents who have sold real estate in the U.S., collect interest or dividends from the U.S. or who are listed as a dependent for a U.S. resident who needs to claim them. In order to get an ITIN, several personal documents are required and a W-7 application must be sent to the IRS.

Obtaining Your ITIN

Applying for an ITIN is a complicated process that requires you to provide several original documents to the IRS for verification. These may include things like your passport, birth certificate, National Identification Card, Medical Record, Foreign Driver’s License, U.S. Visas or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) photo identification. These personal documents, along with a completed W-7 form, must either be delivered in person or by mail to an IRS Center that specializes in processing ITIN applications. With so many sensitive documents required, many people feel hesitant about sending in the original copies in the unfortunate event that something is misplaced or gets lost in the mail.
