Disclaimer

1. Not the IRS

ITINNumber.io is a private business. We work as an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent under an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which lets us examine identity documents, certify copies and submit Form W-7 applications with a Certificate of Accuracy (see our Verify us page). That agreement does not make us part of the IRS, the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any other government agency. We do not speak for the IRS, and we have no special access to IRS systems or staff and no influence over IRS decisions.

2. ITINs are free from the IRS

The IRS charges nothing for an ITIN. You can apply yourself by mailing Form W-7 with your original documents (or copies certified by the issuing agency) to the IRS, or, inside the U.S., at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center. See how to apply on irs.gov. Our fees cover professional preparation, document certification, filing and follow-up — not the ITIN itself.

3. Not a law firm, CPA firm, or bank

We are not attorneys, a CPA firm, or a licensed financial institution, and we do not provide legal, immigration, tax or financial advice. Where a package includes a federal tax return, it is prepared by an independent enrolled agent or CPA. If you need advice in those areas, consult an appropriately licensed professional.

4. No guaranteed outcome or timeline

The IRS decides every ITIN application and sets its own processing times. The IRS says to allow 7 weeks for an ITIN decision, or 9–11 weeks if you apply during peak season (January 15 – April 30) or from overseas. Nobody — no agent and no paid service — can make the IRS process an ITIN faster. While we will do everything reasonable to avoid preventable errors and delays, we cannot and do not guarantee:

• That the IRS will assign you an ITIN
• That your ITIN will be assigned by any specific date
• That the IRS will not send a CP566 request for more information or a CP567 rejection
• That any timeline cited in our marketing materials applies to your specific case

5. What an ITIN does not do

An ITIN does not authorize work in the U.S., does not change immigration status and does not by itself make you eligible for Social Security benefits. Banks, payment platforms and marketplaces apply their own identity, tax and compliance rules; many accept a Form W-8BEN or a business’s EIN instead of an ITIN, and having an ITIN does not guarantee that any of them will approve you.

6. Accuracy of information

We make reasonable efforts to keep website content (including blog posts, FAQs, and pricing) accurate and up to date, and we check IRS facts against irs.gov regularly. However, IRS procedures, documents rules and platform policies change. We do not warrant that all information on this website is accurate, complete, or current at any given moment.

7. Third-party links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of those websites. A link does not constitute endorsement.

8. No attorney-client or accountant-client relationship

Engaging our services does not create an attorney-client relationship, accountant-client relationship, or any other fiduciary relationship. All work is performed as ordinary business services and is not protected by attorney-client privilege or similar protections.
