Information Collection Instructions
Updated: 6 June 2025
A few tips to help your ITIN application go smoothly:
Names
- Enter your name in English exactly as it appears in your passport.
- Most applicants do not have a middle name — leave it blank if you don't.
Country of birth
- Write the full country name. Do not abbreviate (e.g. write "Thailand", not "TH").
Documents
- Upload clear images with no strong glare. Make sure all text is readable.
- Do not submit expired documents.
- A valid passport is the strongest document. Applying without one increases the chance of rejection.
Payment
- Pay the exact amount shown, then upload your slip for verification.
- Each payment slip can be used only once.
Contact
- The IRS does not call applicants directly. Unexpected calls claiming to be the IRS are usually fraud.
- Keep your LINE reachable — it's how we'll contact you if needed.
