If your ITIN application is complete and accurate, the IRS typically processes it within 8 to 12 weeks. However, delays may occur due to errors or high application volumes, so applying early is recommended. Now, why the timeframe is huge?
The longer timeframe can be attributed to several factors. For instance, if you\’re taking assistance from a third-party service provider like Business Globalizer, there are multiple steps involved. After you provide the required information, we will complete Form W-7 on your behalf. Once we receive your signature, our Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) will add their signature. The completed form is then shipped to the IRS, which may take some time depending on logistics. Once the IRS receives the application, they process it based on various factors such as application volume and accuracy. If everything is in order, you’ll receive your freshly issued ITIN!
