What to Bring to Your Appointment
The IRS requires supporting documents to prove identity and foreign status including a passport OR two supporting documents. Visit the IRS website for more information.
Note: There is a $25 ITIN application fee.
Passport
A passport is the only stand-alone document that proves both identity and foreign status.
For dependents, the passport must have a date of entry to be a stand-alone document, unless the dependent is from Canada or Mexico, or a dependent of U.S. military personnel stationed overseas.
Two Supporting Documents
If you don’t have a valid passport, you must submit two supporting documents: one to prove identity and another to prove foreign status.
One document must show your photo. Exceptions: Dependents under age 14 (or under age 18 if a student).
Documents that prove identity or foreign status:
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) photo identification
- Visa issued by the U.S. Department of State
- Foreign military identification card
- National identification card
- Foreign voter’s registration card
- Civil birth certificate (required for applicants under age 18 without a valid passport)*
- Medical records (for dependents under age 6)*
- School records (for dependents under age 24 if a student)*
*May be used to prove foreign status only if documents are foreign.
Documents that prove identity only:
- U.S. driver’s license
- U.S. military identification card
- Foreign driver’s license
- U.S. state identification card
