for an ITIN

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, is a federal tax-processing number issued by the IRS to certain people who need a U.S. taxpayer identification number but are not eligible for a Social Security number. Participating Check City locations can help eligible applicants prepare and submit an ITIN application under the location’s current IRS-authorized service procedures.

The IRS may require a completed Form W-7, a federal tax return unless an exception applies, and identity and foreign-status documentation.
