Questions before you start

What do I get for $39?
Per applicant: the official Form W-7 (Rev. December 2024) pre-filled, an answer sheet with every line including what to write by hand, a cover sheet with the checklist, where to send it and processing time, what to attach in order, and an additional-documents sheet when you send more than one ID.
Are you a Certifying Acceptance Agent?
No. We prepare the paperwork only. To have your passport checked in person instead of mailing it, use a Certifying Acceptance Agent or an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.
Do you need my passport number?
No. Tax ID and document numbers are left blank for you to write by hand.
How long does the IRS take?
About 7 weeks, or 9 to 11 weeks from January 15 to April 30 or when you apply from abroad.
