What is an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and the IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.

What is an ITIN used for?

ITINs are for federal tax reporting only, and are not intended to serve any other purpose. However, some mortgage companies are now accepting ITINs for individuals that cannot get a Social Security Number. An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S. or provide eligibility for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with the U.S. tax laws, and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security Numbers.

Who needs an ITIN?

IRS issues ITINs to foreign nationals and others who have federal tax reporting or filing requirements and do not qualify for Social Security Numbers. A non-resident alien individual not eligible for an Social Security Number, who is required to file a U.S. tax return only to claim a refund of tax under the provisions of a U.S. tax treaty, needs an ITIN.

Examples of individuals who need ITINs include:

• Non-resident alien not eligible for a Social Security Number and would like to apply for a mortgage with Approved Mortgage partner, .
• Non-resident alien filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for a Social Security Number.
• U.S. resident alien (based on days present in the United States) filing a U.S. tax return and not eligible for a Social Security Number.
• Dependent or spouse of a U.S. citizen/resident alien
• Dependent or spouse of a non-resident alien visa holder

How do I know if I need an ITIN?

If you do not have a Social Security Number and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number but you have a requirement to furnish a federal tax identification number or file a federal income tax return, you must apply for an ITIN. By law, an alien individual cannot have both an ITIN and a Social Security Number.

Are ITINs valid for identification?

No. ITINs are not valid identification outside the tax system. Since ITINs are strictly for tax processing, IRS does not apply the same standards as agencies that provide genuine identity certification. ITIN applicants are not required to apply in person, and IRS does not further validate the authenticity of identity documents. ITINs do not prove identity outside the tax system, and should not be offered or accepted as identification for non-tax purposes.

Are ITINs valid for work purposes?

No. ITINs are for federal income tax purposes only.

What identification do I need to get an ITIN?

An original, or a certified or notarized copy, of an UNEXPIRED passport is the only document that is accepted for both identity and foreign status. If you do not have a passport, you must provide a combination of current documents that contain expiration dates – the IRS accept docs issued within 12 months of the application if no expiration date is normally available. The documents must also show your name and photograph, and support your claim of foreign status.

IRS will accept certified or notarized copies of a combination (two or more) of the following documents, in lieu of a passport:

• National identification card (must show photo, name, current address, date of birth, and expiration date)
• U.S. driver's license
• Civil birth certificate
• Foreign driver's license
• U.S. state identification card
• Foreign voter's registration card
• U.S. military identification card
• Foreign military identification card
• Visa
• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) photo identification
• Medical records (dependents - under 14 years old - only)
• School records (dependents and/or students - under 25 years old - only)

Please visit the Internal Revenue website at Click Here or contact your local IRS Tax Payer Assistance Center to find your local IRS Assistance Center click here. Without a credit report, the process of approving a loan becomes much more cumbersome, time consuming and expensive. Borrowers must provide proof of income as well as proof that they have some sort of history of regularly paying bills. 

Because of the time involved in handling this extra documentation, loan approval may take several times longer than with traditional mortgages. In addition, the interest rate on the loan will certainly be higher than for other mortgages in order to account for the additional risk taken on by the lender.
