ITINNumber.io is a private service that works as an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent. Here is who runs it, how to confirm our status, and what we will never ask you for.
Our CAA status
We work as an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent. We are adding our IRS listing details (the name as listed, the list it appears on and the city) to this page. Until then, they are available on request — email support@itinnumber.io and we’ll send them so you can check them on irs.gov before you pay.

We are not the IRS
ITINNumber.io is a private service provider that works as an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent under an agreement with the IRS. We are not the IRS, not part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any government agency, and not a law firm, CPA firm, or bank. The IRS issues ITINs free of charge to applicants who apply directly. Our fees cover professional preparation, document certification, filing, and follow-up — not the ITIN itself. The IRS decides every application and sets its own processing times, which cannot be guaranteed or shortened.
How to verify any acceptance agent
Don’t take any agent’s word for it — including ours. The IRS publishes its own lists.
- Open the IRS Acceptance Agent Program page (opens in a new tab) on irs.gov — not a link sent to you by the agent.
- Choose the list for the U.S. state or country where the agent says it is listed.
- Search for the agent’s name and check the agent type: only a Certifying Acceptance Agent can certify passport copies.
- Remember that listing is opt-in. If an agent isn’t on the list, ask for their listing details and check again — and be careful if they can’t give you any.
What we will never ask you for
If someone using our name asks for any of these, stop and contact us on the details on this page.
Your full ITIN or SSN in a web form
Our forms ask only for the last four digits of an existing ITIN. We collect full numbers only inside your application documents, never by a website form, chat or email request.
Your passwords
We never ask for your email, bank, IRS or marketplace passwords, or for one-time codes sent to your phone.
Payment outside our checkout
You pay only through Razorpay or PayPal on this website, or against an invoice we send you. We never ask for gift cards, crypto or a transfer to a personal account.
An “IRS fee” for the ITIN
The IRS charges nothing for an ITIN. Anyone who asks you to pay the IRS for an ITIN is not telling the truth.
Your original passport by post
We examine your original passport on a recorded video call (or in person) and certify a copy. You don’t mail your original passport to us or to the IRS.
A promise of speed or approval
We will never promise that your ITIN will be issued, or issued by a date. Nobody — no agent and no paid service — can make the IRS process an ITIN faster.
How the video call and recording work
You don’t mail your original passport to the IRS. Instead, our Certifying Acceptance Agent examines it with you on a recorded call.
You book a time
After you send your documents, we schedule a video call with our Certifying Acceptance Agent at a time that suits you.
We confirm it’s you
On the call you show your face and your original passport. The agent checks the photo page, the security features and that the passport is valid and unaltered.
The call is recorded
We tell you at the start that the call is recorded. The recording documents the verification, is kept with your application file and is used for nothing else.
We certify the copy
The agent then certifies the copy of your passport that goes to the IRS with your Form W-7.
For dependents, a Certifying Acceptance Agent can authenticate only the passport and birth certificate; other dependent documents must be originals or certified copies sent to the IRS.
How we handle your data
- We collect only what your Form W-7 and its supporting documents need.
- You upload documents through our secure form over an encrypted (TLS) connection.
- We share your application only with the IRS, and with the service providers named in our privacy policy.
- We never sell or rent your personal information.

Questions about trust and verification
If your question isn't here, contact us — we'll answer honestly, even if the answer is 'this isn't a fit for our service.'
Are you the IRS?
No. ITINNumber.io is a private service. We are not the IRS, not a government agency, and not a law firm, CPA firm, or bank. We work as a Certifying Acceptance Agent under an agreement with the IRS; the IRS decides every ITIN application.
How can I check that an acceptance agent is real?
The IRS publishes lists of acceptance agents by U.S. state and by country on its Acceptance Agent Program page. Find the list for the agent’s location and search for their name. Listing is opt-in, so an agent can be authorized without appearing, but you can always ask the agent for their listing details.
Why do you verify my passport by video?
A Certifying Acceptance Agent must examine your original passport before certifying a copy. A recorded video call lets us do that while you stay at home, so you don’t have to mail the original to the IRS.
Who else is behind this service?
The same team serves clients on Trustpilot as FormLLC and on Fiverr as Tousif Akram, and runs an EIN service for businesses. ITINNumber.io is its ITIN-only service.

Two clocks apply to every ITIN. Ours: we prepare and certify your application within 1–3 business days of receiving your documents and completing the video verification. The IRS’s: it says to allow 7 weeks, or 9–11 weeks from January 15 to April 30 or when you apply from abroad — and nobody can speed that up. We track your application through the IRS wait, follow up once the IRS window has passed, and tell you as soon as your ITIN is assigned. All prices are listed in USD with no hidden fees, and payments are made securely by debit or credit card through Razorpay. The IRS charges nothing for the ITIN itself.
