Why Work with a Certified Acceptance Agent?
​A Safer, Faster Way to Apply for an ITIN​
​
Applying for an ITIN can be confusing—and small document mistakes cause delays or rejections.
​
A Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) can verify your identity and submit a complete ITIN package with the correct supporting documents—reducing avoidable delays and rejections. CAAs also have direct access to the IRS ITIN Unit to check status and help resolve issues faster than waiting for mailed notices.
Takes 3–5 minutes to complete
The CAA Advantage: Faster, Safer, More Accurate ITIN Submissions

Former Expat. Current Expert.
After 15 years living overseas, I understand the documentation hurdles and timing issues that both non-U.S. citizens and U.S. expats face.
I founded ITIN Abroad to give clients a dedicated team focused on getting it right the first time: simplifying U.S. tax compliance and reducing avoidable delays.
When a tax return is required, we prepare and align your filing with treaty positions and required disclosures so your submission is accurate, complete, and compliant.
