Can a non-US resident apply for an ITIN?
If you need to get an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) for tax purposes in the U.S., you’ll need to complete IRS Form W-7 and submit it along with your federal tax return. You’ll also need to include documents that prove your identity and foreign status, such as a passport.
If you're not eligible to file a return yet but still need an ITIN (for example, if you're claimed as a dependent), there are specific exceptions you’ll need to qualify under.
To start, go to the IRS website at www.irs.gov and search for Form W-7. You can mail your application to the address listed in the instructions or apply in person at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.
