What Is a Certifying Acceptance Agent?

A Certifying Acceptance Agent, or CAA, is an individual or organization authorized by the Internal Revenue Service to assist applicants with the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number application process.

A CAA can assist with the preparation and review of Form W-7, review supporting identification documents and authenticate eligible documents where permitted under IRS rules.

This can make the ITIN application process easier to manage, particularly for applicants who would otherwise need to submit certain original identification documents directly to the IRS.

How TaxGov Can Help With Your ITIN Application

Form W-7 Preparation and Review

We provide professional assistance with the preparation and review of Form W-7, helping applicants ensure that the information provided is complete and consistent with the circumstances of their application.

Supporting Document Review

We review the identification documents required for the ITIN application and help applicants understand which documents may be appropriate for their particular case.

CAA Document Authentication

As an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent, TaxGov SL can authenticate eligible identification documents in accordance with IRS rules and applicable limitations.

Not every document can be authenticated in every situation. The documents that may be authenticated can depend on the type of applicant and the documentation being submitted.

Application Package Preparation

We help prepare the Form W-7 application package and supporting documentation for submission to the IRS.

Application Support

Where applicable, we can assist with issues relating to the preparation and processing of the ITIN application.

The IRS remains solely responsible for reviewing the application, approving or rejecting the ITIN request and issuing the ITIN.

Why Use a Certifying Acceptance Agent?

Working with a CAA provides applicants with professional assistance throughout the ITIN application process.

A CAA can review Form W-7, check the supporting documentation and authenticate eligible identification documents where permitted under IRS procedures.

For many applicants, one of the main advantages is avoiding the need to send certain original identification documents directly to the IRS when those documents are eligible for CAA authentication.

Using a CAA does not guarantee approval and does not give the CAA control over IRS processing times.

Important Limits of CAA Document Authentication

CAA authorization does not mean that every supporting document can be authenticated in every ITIN application.

The IRS applies different documentation rules depending on the type of applicant and the identification documents being used.

TaxGov SL reviews each application individually to determine which documents may be authenticated and which documents may need to be submitted in another form under IRS requirements.

Applicants should not assume that all original documents can automatically be retained.

How the TaxGov CAA Process Works

1. Review Your ITIN Situation

We review the reason for your ITIN application and the documentation required for your circumstances.

2. Prepare Form W-7

We help prepare and review Form W-7.

3. Review Your Supporting Documents

We review your identification documents and determine which documents may be eligible for CAA authentication under IRS rules.

4. Authenticate Eligible Documents

Where permitted, eligible identification documents are authenticated as part of the CAA process.

5. Prepare the Application Package

We prepare the ITIN application package for submission to the IRS.

6. IRS Review

The IRS reviews the application and makes the final decision regarding the ITIN. TaxGov SL cannot guarantee approval or a specific processing time.

CAA vs. Acceptance Agent

An Acceptance Agent can assist applicants with Form W-7 and the ITIN application process.

A Certifying Acceptance Agent has additional authority to authenticate certain eligible identification documents under IRS procedures.

This distinction can be particularly useful for applicants who would otherwise have to send certain original documents to the IRS.

Can I Use TaxGov From Outside the United States?

Yes.

TaxGov SL assists ITIN applicants from countries around the world.

Our services are designed for applicants who may be located outside the United States and need professional assistance preparing an ITIN application, Form W-7 and supporting documentation.

No.

TaxGov SL is a private company and is not part of the Internal Revenue Service or any U.S. government agency.

TaxGov SL is authorized to act as a Certifying Acceptance Agent and is listed on the official IRS website as an Acceptance Agent in Spain, but the IRS remains the government authority responsible for processing and deciding ITIN applications.
