ITIN Application Assistance
An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a personal tax ID issued by the IRS to individuals who cannot obtain an SSN. You may need an ITIN for personal U.S. tax obligations, treaty benefits, or certain financial and tax-related requirements.
What This Service Helps You Do
This service helps eligible non-residents apply for an ITIN when a personal U.S. tax identification number is needed for filing, compliance, or tax treaty purposes.
Why This Matters
An ITIN is different from an EIN and is not needed by every founder. But when it is required, applying correctly with the right documents is important to avoid rejection and delays.
- May be required for claiming tax treaty benefits
- Needed for certain personal U.S. tax return filings
- May be requested by some financial institutions or platforms
- We guide you through the W-7 application process

Frequently Asked Questions
An EIN is your business tax ID. An ITIN is your personal tax ID. They serve different purposes. Your company may need an EIN, while you personally may need an ITIN in some situations.
Not necessarily. You need an ITIN only if you have personal U.S. tax filing obligations, want to claim treaty benefits, or a financial institution or tax process requires it.
