IRS ITIN Application Service
Obtain your Individual Taxpayer Identification Number with certified acceptance assistance. No need to mail your original passport to the IRS.
Comprehensive Service Overview
An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a nine-digit tax processing number issued by the IRS for foreign individuals who are required to file a U.S. tax return or report U.S. income but are not eligible for a Social Security Number (SSN).
For international founders, having an ITIN unlocks personal access to U.S. merchant accounts (like Stripe personal verification), U.S. credit building, personal bank accounts, and allows you to file U.S. individual tax returns. NexFyla provides Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) assistance, allowing you to certify your identity documents without parting with your physical passport.
