DOCUMENT CHECKLIST
ITIN Certification
We simplify the ITIN process by helping certify identity documents and prepare the required application package. Avoid unnecessary steps and receive reliable, precise assistance aligned with IRS requirements.
WHAT DO I NEED?
Documents for your ITIN certification.
The exact documents depend on the applicant’s circumstances. All documents must meet current IRS requirements.
Important: Upload Form W-7 and the requested supporting documents only through the secure upload field in the application form below. Never send identification documents, Social Security numbers, ITINs or tax records through email or WhatsApp.
Valid Passport
A current passport is the only stand-alone document that establishes both identity and foreign status. Additional residency documentation can apply to dependent applicants.
Other Identification Documents
If the applicant does not have a passport, the IRS generally requires a combination of at least two acceptable documents. Depending on the applicant, these may include:
- Birth certificate
- National identification card
- Driver’s license
- Medical record for a dependent under age 6
- School record for an eligible dependent student under age 24
- Foreign voter registration card
- Visa
- USCIS photo identification
Acceptance depends on the applicant’s circumstances and current IRS requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Helpful answers before you begin.
General information based on current IRS guidance. Your situation may require additional documentation.
What is an ITIN used for?
An ITIN is used for federal tax purposes by certain people who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for an SSN. It does not authorize work in the United States, change immigration status or qualify someone for Social Security benefits.
What is generally submitted with Form W-7?
The IRS generally requires identity and foreign-status documentation plus a federal tax return unless an IRS exception applies. We help you understand which path may fit your situation.
How long does IRS processing take?
The IRS states that applicants generally receive a response in about seven weeks. It may take nine to eleven weeks during peak periods or for applications submitted from overseas. LatinX Services cannot guarantee IRS approval or timing.
When does an ITIN expire?
An ITIN expires when it has not been used on a federal tax return at least once during three consecutive tax years. Renewal may be needed before filing a return.
Where can I verify official requirements?
Review the latest information directly on the official IRS ITIN page. LatinX Services provides application assistance; only the IRS issues ITINs and makes approval decisions.
Not sure which ITIN service to choose?
Contact us before paying and we will help you identify the appropriate individual service. Payment itself is completed by card through the corresponding Stripe checkout.
