FAQ

Do I need a tax return to apply?

In most cases, yes—unless you qualify for a specific IRS exception (such as certain real estate or mortgage-related situations).

Can this be done via video?

No. IRS regulations require the Certified Acceptance Agent to physically inspect the original passport in person.

How long does it take to get an ITIN?

Processing typically takes 7–11 weeks; however, timelines may vary depending on IRS processing volume and administrative backlogs.

Can my family members apply too?

Yes. Spouses and dependents of U.S. citizens/residents or visa holders can often apply for an ITIN.
