ITIN certified passport copy

[SansTortoise 20]

Called the IRS and asked several tax CPA friends who didn’t know the answer to this — for a certified passport copy when applying for an ITIN, does the IRS want every page certified or just the biographic details?

 

Called the IRS help line and the response was “the form instructions don’t say.”

Just a copy of the biographic page, certified by whatever agency that issued the passport.

Cool, thanks. He’s visiting and we’re close to a consulate so just going to have the consulate do it while he’s here since it’s easier than getting it done by the issuing agency.

 

Just wasn’t clear as to if it was bio page or everything.

Good luck. I am dealing with the IRS now. Submitted taxes and had my wife down with my last name. After a long process they rejected everything. Come to find out because the passport has her maiden name on it and we put my last name on the taxes. Just a heads up. Not sure if they have it out for me or this is SOP. We are resubmitting everything with her maiden name.
