We assist individuals in obtaining an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), making it possible for them to file non-resident tax returns (1040NR) in the US.

Applying for an ITIN requires a significant amount of complex and often lengthy administrative steps. Our team can handle these issues for you, making the process easier and more convenient.

How we can help

As one of the few IRS-authorised Certifying Acceptance Agents in the UK, we guide our clients through every step of the individual tax identification number application process.

As a result of this, we can provide certified copies of ID documents and issue a W7 (officially known as a W-7 Certificate of Accuracy) to the IRS in support of applications for those eligible. This allows our clients to apply for an ITIN without needing to send original documents to the US.

Our packages

Certification package

We also offer a certification-only package that includes:

  • ID certification accepted by the IRS
  • Issuance of a Certificate of Accuracy showing that the application has been completed and all the documents provided are authentic
  • Signing off the W7 if required as per agreement

Full-service package

UPDATE: We currently only offer this service for inheritance cases where an ITIN is needed for the affairs of a deceased person in the US, or for LLC tax returns. 

Our bespoke full-service individual tax identification number service includes:

  • Completion of the IRS application for your ITIN number and providing certified copies of acceptable ID documents
  • Reviewing the required supported documents
  • Issuance of a Certificate of Accuracy showing that the application has been completed and all the documents provided are authentic
  • Submission of the application for processing
  • Receiving the ITIN number and providing a copy to relevant parties

What does the process involve?

As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, Woodcock Notary Public is authorised by the IRS to complete ITIN applications on our clients’ behalf. This means we are able to do the following for you:

  • Complete the ITIN application form
  • Provide a certified copy of acceptable ID documents (Originals are still accepted where applicable)
  • Review the documentation required for submission
  • Issue a Certificate of Accuracy to the IRS (this shows the ITIN number application is complete and accurate)
  • Submit the application to the IRS ITIN Operations office
  • Receive the ITIN number from the IRS and provide a copy to you

Mobile services

Our mobile and video appointment services also save you time; we can meet you at a location suitable to you, or hold video meetings to observe documents being certified.

Please note, we need to see the originals of documents that are to be used in your application.

However, if you are unable to meet us, they can be couriered to us and mailed back via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
