You’ll need to provide your full name, date of birth, address, and possibly other identifying details.
In addition are also available at the other contact methods:

Hello, I understand you're looking for information about your ITIN application. Have you received any recent notifications about the status of your application?
Yes, they asked me for my ID and the last four digits of my card.
Lexi, Chatbot
When did you submit the ITIN application, and have you checked the status online through the IRS website?
I applied yesterday, and I don't know how to check online.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect with you?
No, just that.

Good afternoon and welcome to AskaLawyer. Please give me a moment to review your question.

Under U.S. tax law, applying for an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is done by submitting Form W-7 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). An ITIN is issued to individuals who are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN) but have a tax filing requirement in the U.S., such as reporting income or being listed as a dependent or spouse on a tax return.
After submitting the application, the IRS typically takes 7 to 11 weeks to process it, although processing can take longer during peak tax season. Since you just applied yesterday, the IRS will not have a status update yet—but keep copies of everything you submitted and follow up after a few weeks if you haven’t heard back.

If you’ve been asked to provide additional information like your ID or the last four digits of your card, be cautious—the IRS does not normally request personal information by email or text. It's important to verify that any such request is legitimate and to respond only through official channels.
