What is the ITIN?

U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is your personal identifier in the US tax system. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is mandatory for anyone who is required to have a U.S. taxpayer number by the IRS. It is also required to get an EIN Business Number. Your ITIN expires if you don’t use it for 3 years, in this case you have to renew it. That’s why we always recommend getting your ITIN as soon as possible.

What is a CAA?

Business Start Up

CAAs are able to authenticate documents for the IRS. CAAs can now authenticate the passport and birth certificate for dependents. CAAs will continue to certify identification documents for the primary and secondary applicants. CAAs must conduct an in person interview with each applicant (primary, secondary and dependent) in order to complete the application. Video conferencing (i.e. ZOOM) can be used if the CAA has the original identification documents or certified copies from the agency that issued them in their possession during the interview.
