Form W‑7 is the official Application for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) issued by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Taxpayers who are not eligible for a Social Security Number but need a federal tax identification number use this form.
The W‑7 form allows foreign individuals, residents, and certain dependents to obtain an ITIN so they can file U.S. tax returns, claim treaty benefits, or be listed on a tax return. The PDF is fully fillable, but editing it locally can be cumbersome.
Follow the simple steps below to fill out Form W‑7 directly on this page.
Avoid these pitfalls to prevent delays:
After you download the finished PDF, mail it with the required documentation to:
Internal Revenue ServiceOr submit through an IRS-authorized Acceptance Agent.
Non‑U.S. residents, foreign nationals, and dependents who are not eligible for a Social Security Number but must file a U.S. tax return or be listed on one.
The IRS currently requires a paper submission. You can fill it out online with Formize, then download and mail the completed PDF.
A valid, original passport is the most common. If you don’t have a passport, you can provide a combination of a national ID, birth certificate, and a US visa.
Processing usually takes 6‑10 weeks after the IRS receives a complete application.
ITINs that have not been used on a tax return for three consecutive years will expire. Renewal is done using the same Form W‑7.
There is no fee to the IRS, but if you use an Acceptance Agent, they may charge a service fee.
If you discover an error, you must submit a new, complete Form W‑7 with the correct information.
You can request a copy of your ITIN by calling the IRS at 1‑800‑829‑1040 or by submitting a new Form W‑7.
No. An ITIN is for tax purposes only and does not provide work authorization or Social Security benefits.
