An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a tax processing number issued by the IRS for certain individuals who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN).
Whether you need an ITIN — and whether you qualify for one — depends on your individual circumstances and IRS rules. Not everyone with a U.S. connection needs an ITIN, and submitting an inquiry is the best way to determine whether we can assist with your situation.

An IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) can authenticate many eligible supporting documents as part of an ITIN application, subject to IRS rules. Where CAA authentication applies, this may allow applicants to avoid mailing certain original documents to the IRS.

For dependents, CAA authentication is limited to passports and birth certificates. Other supporting documents may need to be submitted as originals or as copies certified by the issuing agency, under IRS requirements.
