Apply for yourindividual U.S. tax number.
An ITIN is for a person, while an EIN is for a company. We help eligible applicants prepare Form W-7 and the documents the IRS needs.
Do you need an ITIN?
You need a federal tax purpose and must be ineligible for an SSN. Owning a U.S. company alone does not automatically mean you need an ITIN. We review your situation before preparing the application.

- Guidance on supporting identity documents

- Submission support and next-step guidance

Know what the number is for
An ITIN is issued for federal tax purposes. It is separate from your company’s EIN and does not guarantee a bank account, payment account, or credit card.
- It does not authorize work in the United States.
- It does not grant immigration or residency status.
- Each financial provider applies its own eligibility requirements.
The IRS says to allow 7 weeks for a status notice, or 9–11 weeks during tax season or for an application from overseas. Missing information can extend processing. We cannot set the IRS timeline.
A company is not a general requirement for an ITIN. Eligibility depends on your federal tax purpose and whether you are eligible for an SSN. We review your situation before preparing Form W-7.
