Required Documents
What documents are required for ITIN?
Commonly required documents to prove your identity and foreign status.
Primary Option (Stand-alone)
✓ Valid Passport — The only single document accepted by the IRS to prove both identity and foreign status. Most efficient route.
Secondary Option
Applicant must provide at least two documents. At least one document must contain a photograph and prove foreign status.
Accepted combination documents
National ID Card
Voter’s Registration Card
Foreign Driver’s License
Civil Birth Certificate
Medical Records* (under6)
School Records* (under24)
Visa issued by U.S. Department of State
For dependents: Medical records if under 6 years old · School records if under 24 years old. A valid passport remains the gold standard for ITIN processing.
Business Information
Corporations or LLCs do not receive ITINs directly; they receive EINs. However, foreign individuals owning or participating in a U.S. business may require an ITIN for tax reporting (partnerships, real estate, etc.).
Mandatory Form
Form W-7 (Application for IRS ITIN)
Proof of Business Activity
- LLC Operating Agreement showing the applicant as a member
- Partnership Agreement listing the applicant’s name
- EIN Confirmation Letter (CP 575) for the U.S. entity
Exception 1(a) Supporting Letter
Letter from a financial institution, partnership, or related entity confirming the tax reporting requirement. This exception allows ITIN application without attaching a federal tax return.
Official letterhead & signature required
Application Process
How Do I Apply for an ITIN?
01
Complete Form W-7
- Fill in the IRS Form W-7 — the official ITIN application form — accurately and completely.
02
Prepare Tax Return
- Attach a completed federal tax return (unless you qualify for an exception).
03
Gather Identity Doc
- Submit identity and foreign status documents — a passport is the most preferred option.
04
Submit to IRS
- Your application is submitted to the IRS for review. A CAA can submit on your behalf without sending original documents.
Key Points to Remember
- 💡 ITIN does not authorize you to work in the U.S.
- 💡 Processing takes 6–8 weeks (up to 12 weeks during peak season)
- 💡 Passport alone is sufficient — no other document needed
- 💡 ITIN expires if not used for 3 consecutive tax years
- 💡 Using a CAA means your original documents stay with you
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ⚠️ Submitting photocopies instead of certified documents
- ⚠️ Forgetting to attach the federal tax return
- ⚠️ Not renewing an expired ITIN before filing taxes
- ⚠️ Applying for an ITIN when you're eligible for an SSN
- ⚠️ Incomplete or incorrect Form W-7 entries
