An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a unique nine-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain, a Social Security number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). An ITIN is used by individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number for federal tax purposes but do not have, and are not eligible to obtain, a SSN from the SSA.
In order to obtain an ITIN, individuals must complete and submit IRS Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, along with the required documentation. Documentation generally includes a valid passport, or other acceptable identification documents, and may include additional documents depending on the individual’s particular circumstances. The W-7 form and supporting documentation can be mailed to the IRS or submitted to an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent or Certifying Acceptance Agent.
The IRS generally issues ITINs within seven weeks of receiving a complete and accurate Form W-7 and supporting documentation.
Yes, some banks allow customers to open a bank account using their ITIN. However, it is important to check with the bank in advance to make sure that they accept ITINs as a valid form of identification.
An ITIN cannot be used to obtain employment in the United States, apply for Social Security benefits, or to get a driver’s license.
