What Do I Need to Obtain My ITIN?
The IRS does not allow everyone to apply for an ITIN. You must have a valid reason to apply for it. In most cases, this can be done when filing your personal tax return. Other situations where this may apply are FIRPTA and Section 8 Properties.
When applying, you will need:
- Scanned copy of your passport.
- Address in your country of residence.
- We are authorized by the IRS to certify passports. You don’t need to get the certification in your country! We simply need to have a video call via Skype or a meeting at our office.
- W-7 Application (we will provide you with all the completed forms with your information).
- A valid reason to apply. Filing your taxes is a sufficient reason.
How long does the ITIN Application Process Take?
The process typically takes between 3 and 4 months. However, if the U.S. government receives a high volume of applications, it may take longer. Our team always works professionally to avoid delays and optimize the time as much as possible:
- Agility and Efficiency.
- Communication and Follow-up.
- Advance Preparation.
