ITIN Standard Service: $197 | 7-10 Business Day Preparation
The Standard ITIN application costs $197 and includes complete Form W-7 preparation, document review against 13 IRS-accepted identity documents, IRS submission, and free resubmission. Our Certifying Acceptance Agent (authorized under IRS Publication 1915) handles everything online. No passport mailing required. Serving 150+ countries.
What Is Included in the $197 Standard ITIN Package?
The Standard package includes 5 services for a flat $197 fee. No hidden charges, no per-page fees, no extra costs for international applicants.
Complete W-7 Form Preparation
Form W-7 is the official IRS application for an ITIN (required under IRC Section 6109). Errors on this form are the #1 reason for ITIN rejections. Our team fills out every section of the W-7 based on your specific situation: whether you are an Amazon seller, freelancer, real estate investor, or filing a US tax return for another reason.
Document Review Against 13 IRS-Accepted IDs
The IRS accepts 13 identity documents for ITIN applications: passport, national ID card, US driver's license, birth certificate, foreign driver's license, US state ID, foreign voter registration card, US military ID, foreign military ID, visa, USCIS photo ID, medical records (dependents under 6), and school records (dependents under 18). We review your documents against current IRS requirements before submission.
IRS Submission and Free Resubmission
We compile your complete application and submit it to the IRS. Your W-7 form, supporting documents, and tax return (Form 1040-NR for non-residents) are sent together as a complete package. If the IRS requests corrections, we resubmit at no extra cost.
Email Status Updates at Every Stage
You receive email notifications when we receive your documents, when W-7 preparation begins, when your application is ready for review, and when it is submitted to the IRS. You can also check your application status anytime.
No Passport Mailing Required
As a Certifying Acceptance Agent (per IRS Publication 1915), we certify your identity documents remotely. Your passport stays with you. Applicants who file directly with the IRS must mail their original passport and wait 6-14 weeks for its return.

What Is the Standard ITIN Application Timeline?
The total Standard timeline is 7-12 weeks from document upload to ITIN issuance. During peak season (January-April), the total extends to 9-13 weeks.
Day 1: Pay $197 and Upload Documents
After payment, you receive an email with document upload instructions. Most applicants complete the upload the same day. Provide your passport copy, tax return details (Form 1040-NR for non-residents), and any supporting documents.
Days 1-10: We Prepare Your W-7 Application
Our team reviews your documents, prepares your Form W-7, and assembles your complete application package. Standard preparation takes 7-10 business days. We contact you by email if we need clarification on any document.
Day 10+: IRS Submission (Same Day as Prep Completion)
We submit your application to the IRS the same day preparation is complete. No delays between preparation and filing.
Weeks 2-12: IRS Processing (6-11 Weeks)
The IRS processes your application and mails your ITIN notice (CP565) to your address. Processing takes 6-11 weeks (11+ weeks during January-April peak season). Check current IRS processing times.
Who Should Choose the Standard ITIN Package?
Standard is the right choice if you have 8+ weeks before your tax deadline. If you are applying for an ITIN well in advance of when you need it, the 7-10 day preparation window gives our team time to be thorough. Most applicants who apply outside of January-April tax season choose Standard and save $100.
Best for Off-Season Applicants
During May-December, IRS processing times drop to 6-8 weeks. Combined with Standard's 7-10 day preparation, your total timeline is 7-10 weeks. This is ideal for LLC owners, freelancers, and Amazon sellers who are setting up their US tax compliance ahead of filing season.
Same Quality as Express
Standard uses the same W-7 preparation process and document review as Express. The difference is preparation speed (7-10 days vs. 2-3 days), support channel (email vs. WhatsApp), and the money-back guarantee (Express only). Preparation accuracy is identical.
If you need faster preparation, WhatsApp support, or a money-back guarantee, upgrade to Express for $297. Express preparation takes 2-3 business days and includes direct WhatsApp messaging with our team at +880 1750 278508.
Need It Faster? Express Is $297 with 2-3 Day Prep
Express includes everything in Standard plus 2-3 business day preparation (5-7 days faster), WhatsApp support (+880 1750 278508), and a 100% money-back guarantee if the IRS declines due to our error. The $100 upgrade covers priority processing and financial protection.
