A CP567 notice from the IRS means your ITIN application has been rejected. This is more common than you might think — often due to document issues, incorrect Form W-7 completion, or missing information. This guide explains exactly what to do next.
What Is a CP567 Notice?
The IRS CP567 notice is titled 'We Cannot Issue an ITIN' and informs you that your ITIN application (Form W-7) has been rejected. The notice includes the specific reason for rejection and instructions on how to reapply.
Receiving a CP567 does not mean you are ineligible for an ITIN — it means your application had a specific deficiency that must be corrected before resubmitting.
Common Rejection Reasons for Bangladeshi Applicants
The most common reasons Bangladeshi ITIN applications are rejected:
- Expired passport: The IRS requires a currently valid passport at the time of application
- Name mismatch: The name on Form W-7 doesn't exactly match the name on your passport
- Wrong reason code: Selecting the wrong exception or reason for ITIN on the W-7 form
- Missing supporting documents: Not including required secondary ID or address proof
- Document quality issues: Unreadable or incomplete document copies
- No qualifying US tax connection: The IRS cannot confirm a valid reason you need an ITIN
What to Do After Receiving CP567
Steps after receiving a CP567:
- Read the notice carefully to identify the specific rejection reason
- Gather corrected or additional documents as indicated
- Complete a new Form W-7 with the correct information
- Resubmit through ITIN Plus — we review the rejection reason and ensure the resubmission addresses every IRS concern
ITIN Plus handles rejected case resubmissions. Contact us at apply@itinplus.com with your CP567 notice and we will guide you through the corrected application at no additional charge if the original rejection was due to an error on our part.
Preventing CP567 in the First Place
The best way to avoid rejection is to apply through an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) from the start. CAAs are authorized to certify your documents and submit on your behalf — they review every field of your application and verify every document before sending to the IRS. ITIN Plus's rejection rate is significantly lower than self-filed applications for this reason.
