ITIN Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CAA and Why use one?

When you use a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), you don’t have to send your original documents to the IRS. Instead, the CAA verifies your identity and documentation, allowing you to keep your important documents in your possession while still meeting IRS requirements. It’s a safer, faster, and more convenient way to apply for or renew an ITIN.
