Frequently asked questions

Do I have to mail my passport to the IRS?

No. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we verify it ourselves, so it never goes to the IRS.

Can I get an ITIN if I've never lived in the US?

Yes. Your US tax reason matters, not where you live.

Can I get an ITIN without a tax return?

Only with an IRS exception. Most applicants attach a return.

How long does it take?

IRS: about 7 weeks, or 9–11 weeks from overseas.

How do I know you're a real CAA?

Check our name on the IRS's official acceptance agent list.

Is EasyFormX part of the IRS?

No. We're a private company authorized by the IRS as a Certifying Acceptance Agent.

Who needs an ITIN?

A US tax ID for people with a US federal tax reason who can’t get a Social Security Number. These are the situations we help with most.

Spouse of a US citizen or resident→
Partner in a US business or multi-member LLC→
Royalties, Amazon/KDP income and treaty benefits→
Owning, renting or selling US property→
Dependents claimed for a US tax benefit→
File jointly or claim tax benefits with your US citizen or resident spouse.

ITIN or EIN?

An EIN is your company’s tax number. An ITIN is your personal one. Owning a US LLC doesn’t automatically mean you need an ITIN.

What an ITIN won't do

It’s for tax purposes only. It doesn’t authorize work, change immigration status, or guarantee a bank account or credit card.

How the ITIN application works

Five clear ITIN application steps. You always know what’s happening and who’s responsible.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to mail my original passport to the IRS?+

No. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, we verify your passport ourselves, so it never goes to the IRS.

Can I get an ITIN if I've never lived in the US?+

Yes. Where you live doesn't matter. Your US tax reason does.

Can I get an ITIN without filing a tax return?+

Only if you qualify for an IRS exception. Most applicants need to attach a return.

Do I need an ITIN for my US LLC?+

Not to form it or get its EIN. Only if you personally have a US tax filing requirement.

How long does it take to get an ITIN?+

The IRS generally takes about 7 weeks, or 9–11 weeks from overseas or during tax season.

How do I know you're a real Certifying Acceptance Agent?+

Check our name on the IRS's official list. A genuine CAA always interviews you before certifying documents.

Does an ITIN expire?+

Yes. An ITIN expires after it is not used on a federal tax return for three consecutive years. You generally need to renew it before using it on a return again. We handle renewals too.

Does an ITIN let me work in the US or change my immigration status?+

No. An ITIN is a tax number only. It does not authorize work, change immigration status or entitle you to Social Security benefits.

Is EasyFormX part of the IRS?+

No. We're a private company authorized by the IRS to assist with ITIN applications as a Certifying Acceptance Agent.
