Online ITIN Application

Apply for your ITIN from anywhere in the world

Complete IRS Form W-7 through our guided online application, upload your documents securely, and have them verified by a Certifying Acceptance Agent — so your passport is never sent to the IRS.

  1. 1

    Complete the online application

    Six short steps covering everything Form W-7 asks for. Your answers save as you go, so you can stop and come back. Roughly fifteen minutes.

  2. 2

    We verify your documents as a CAA

    Upload clear images or scans, then get the originals to Mr. Bryan Woods — in the Sanford office, or by courier from anywhere in the world. IRS ITIN statute and procedure require a CAA to touch and hold your passport to confirm it is valid, so we inspect it, photocopy it and send it straight back to you. The IRS receives our certified copy — never your passport.

  3. 3

    We file, and you can follow it

    Your certified Form W-7 package goes to the IRS ITIN Operation with any return that has to accompany it. You get a reference number and can check where your file stands at any time.

Start my application Check my status

Free to start and no payment up front. We confirm your fixed fee in writing before any work begins.

Your passport never goes to the IRS

As an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent, and in alignment with IRS statute, we provide the IRS with a certified copy of your passport rather than the passport itself. IRS ITIN statute and procedure do require us to touch and hold the original to confirm it is valid: we inspect it, photocopy it and return it to you immediately by Federal Express, DHL, USPS Priority or Express Mail.

That is one to two days without your passport, in place of mailing it to the IRS, which can take six months or more and where its care, custody and control can be jeopardised. Not with us.

What we handle

  • New ITIN applications
  • Renewals of expired numbers
  • Spouses and dependents
  • Corrections to existing records
  • Form W-7 filed with your return

How Working With Us Works

No guesswork and no surprises. Every engagement follows the same four steps, whether you are down the road in Sanford or on the other side of the world.

  1. 1

    Free initial consultation

    Tell us what you need in a call or a message. We confirm whether an ITIN, Apostille, notarization or a full tax engagement is the right route — before any commitment.

  2. 2

    Secure document exchange

    You receive an invitation to our encrypted client portal with a precise checklist. Passports and identification never travel by ordinary email.

  3. 3

    Certification & preparation

    As a Certifying Acceptance Agent we touch and hold your original passport to confirm it is valid — in our office, or couriered to us and straight back to you within one to two days — then prepare and review the filing line by line.

  4. 4

    Filing & follow-through

    We submit, track and keep you updated to completion — and stay reachable afterwards for the questions that inevitably follow.

Not sure which service you need?

That is exactly what the first conversation is for. Describe your situation and we will tell you the shortest correct path — even if it turns out you do not need us.

Fees

Professional fees from $99

An ITIN renewal starts at $99. The rest we quote individually, because the work genuinely differs from one file to the next. Applying online costs nothing, and you only pay once we have confirmed your exact fee in writing.

Most common

ITIN renewal

from $99

Your ITIN expired or was never used. Same certification, less paperwork.

New ITIN application

TBD

Quoted for your file

Form W-7 prepared, your documents certified by a CAA so your passport comes back to you in one to two days instead of going to the IRS, and the package filed and tracked.

Each additional family member

TBD

Quoted for your file

Spouse and dependants applying at the same time, filed together with yours.

ITIN with your tax return

TBD

Quoted for your file

Most ITIN applications must be attached to a federal return. We prepare both and file them as one package.

TBD means we price that work for your file rather than from a list — the number of applicants, which Form W-7 reason applies and whether a tax return is prepared alongside all change it. Tell us your situation and you will have the figure in writing, with no obligation to go ahead.

Quoted in writing. You see the exact figure before any work starts.

Paid securely. Card payments are handled by Stripe; card numbers never reach us.

No government fee. The IRS charges nothing for an ITIN. Our fee is for our professional work.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we are asked most often about ITINs, Apostilles, online notarization and cross-border tax.

Do I have to mail my original passport to the IRS to get an ITIN?
No. As an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), and in alignment with IRS statute, we verify and certify your identification documents ourselves and submit a certified copy of your passport with your Form W-7, so your passport is never sent to the IRS. IRS ITIN statute and procedure do require that we physically touch and hold your passport to confirm it is valid: we inspect the original, photocopy it, and return it to you immediately by Federal Express, DHL, USPS Priority or Express Mail. That leaves you without your passport for one to two days, in place of mailing it to the IRS, which can take six months or more and where the care, custody and control of it can be jeopardised. Not with us.
How long does an ITIN application take?
IRS processing time for a complete Form W-7 package is typically about seven weeks, and longer during peak filing season or if the application is submitted from abroad. We review your package before it is filed so that avoidable errors do not restart that clock.
What is an Apostille and when do I need one?
An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public document so it is recognised in another country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention. It is commonly required for birth, marriage and death certificates, powers of attorney, corporate records, diplomas and background checks used overseas. We handle county, state and federal level authentication.
Can I be notarised online if I am outside the United States?
Yes. Remote Online Notarization is performed over a secure audio-visual session, so you can sign from anywhere in the world provided you have a valid government-issued photo ID, a camera-equipped device and an internet connection.
Do I need to visit your Sanford, Florida office?
Usually not. ITIN processing, tax preparation, Apostille services and online notarization are all delivered remotely through our secure client portal. In-person appointments at our Sanford office are available if you prefer to meet.
Can I apply for my ITIN online?
Yes. Our guided online application at itin.tax/apply walks you through everything IRS Form W-7 asks for in six short steps, saves your progress as you go, and lets you upload your identification documents securely. It is free to start and there is no payment up front. We review every submission personally, normally within one business day, and confirm your fixed fee in writing before any work begins.
How do I check on the progress of my ITIN application?
Every application we receive is given a reference number in the format ITIN-XXXX-XXXX. Enter it together with the email address you applied with at itin.tax/application-status and you will see exactly where your file stands, from first review through document verification to filing with the IRS. You are also welcome to call the office on (941) 422-5188 and quote your reference.
How much does an ITIN application cost?
An ITIN renewal starts at $99. Our other ITIN work — a first-time application, additional family members, or a Form W-7 filed alongside a tax return — is quoted for your file rather than from a list, and is shown as TBD on our fee schedule, because the work genuinely differs from one case to the next. We quote your exact fee in writing before any work starts or any payment is taken, and it is fixed once you accept it. Note that Form W-7 itself is free from the IRS at irs.gov; what you pay us is for preparation, Certifying Acceptance Agent document certification and filing.
How do I send documents securely?
Through an encrypted channel, never regular email. Our online ITIN application at itin.tax/apply uploads your identification documents over an encrypted connection straight into our system, and ongoing client work runs through our encrypted client portal. Tax and ITIN work involves passports, identification and Social Security information, so we never ask clients to send those as ordinary email attachments.
Can you prepare U.S. tax returns for expatriates and non-residents?
Yes. We prepare domestic and international returns including expatriate filings, foreign earned income matters, non-resident returns and cross-border planning for individuals and businesses.
