The Advantages of Applying for an ITIN Through a CAA

A CAA — Certified Acceptance Agent — is an official agent of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), professionally handling ITIN US tax numbers. Most CAAs and their contact details are published on the IRS website.

As an official IRS agent, a CAA must pass IRS training and examinations, so they know the ITIN application process inside out. Experienced CAAs have personally handled thousands of cases and met almost every problem that can arise — which lets them steer you past most of the common pitfalls and get your ITIN application through more quickly.

Safer: No Original Documents, Strict Privacy

A CAA is qualified to certify your passport, so you never have to provide the original to the IRS. Just as important: as registered official agents, CAAs are bound by strict client-privacy requirements. Our team also builds safeguards into the workflow to minimise the risk of personal information leaking. In addition, working as US tax preparers, we can spot potential tax risks while handling your ITIN and design solutions to avoid them in time. That is why applying through an official CAA is safer.

Simpler: Professional Division of Labour

As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, letting professionals do professional work improves efficiency and saves enormous amounts of time. We run our business on integrity, which also keeps transaction costs low. Without a doubt, working with a CAA makes the whole thing simpler.
