ITIN Application

Why do I need an ITIN?


Let’s say you’re working and earning money in the United States, but you don't qualify for a Social Security Number. An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification number) will serve as your identification number for filing your tax returns. If you do not qualify for an SSN, you will need to apply for an ITIN.


Here's what else your ITIN does:


  • It allows you to get a refund of income tax withholding from the IRS, if you qualify.
  • It allows you to file your taxes and claim tax benefits for qualifying dependents.
  • It may allow you to open a bank account, obtain a credit card, or apply for a mortgage loan.


So, your ITIN tax ID not only helps you file a tax return, it ensures you get the refund you deserve as quickly as possible. Nonimmigrant visa holders wanting to adjust status to become an immigrant are encouraged to acquire an ITIN while waiting to apply for their green card.


How to get an ITIN number


To begin the ITIN application process, you will need:


  • A complete IRS Form W-7
  • A U.S. federal income tax return
  • Your Passport or TWO (2) of the following documents: (including at least one proving identification with photo and one proving foreign status from your country):
    • National Identification Document (this must be current, and include your name, photo, address, date of birth, and expiration date)
    • U.S. driver's license
    • Foreign driver's license
    • Birth Certificate (required for a dependent unless a passport is being submitted and the passport has a date of entry into the U.S.)
    • U.S. State I.D.
    • Foreign Voter's Registration card
    • Visa issued by the U.S. Department of State
    • U.S Military ID card
    • Foreign Military ID card
    • U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services photo I.D.
    • Medical (for dependents under age 6 only)
    • School records (for dependents who are students under age 18 only)


How Long Does It Take to Get An ITIN?


After you apply for an ITIN and qualify for an ITIN number, you could receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number in as early as seven weeks. However, the speed in which it takes to get an ITIN number depends on the volume of inquiries the IRS receives. It can take nine to eleven weeks during busy times.
