Documents Brazilian Residents Need for an ITIN
- Valid Brazilian passport — The primary identity document. Must be current and valid.
- EIN confirmation letter — Required if your ITIN purpose is a US LLC (IRS Form SS-4 approval letter).
- US tax return (if applicable) — Some W-7 reason codes require attaching a draft US tax return.
- Proof of foreign status — Your Brazilian passport satisfies this requirement for most applicants.
- CAA certification — As your CAA, ITIN Plus certifies your documents so you never mail originals to the IRS.
⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.
Document Checklist for Brazilian ITIN Applicants
The IRS requires identity verification documents with every ITIN (W-7) application. For Brazilian residents, the primary acceptable document is a valid Brazilian passport. It must be current and show your photo, name, date of birth, and country of citizenship.
If your ITIN purpose is related to a US LLC, you must also provide your LLC's EIN confirmation letter (IRS Form SS-4 approval). For applicants who need to file a US tax return, a draft 1040-NR or 1120 may also be required. ITIN Plus reviews your specific situation and provides a personalized document checklist when you email apply@itinplus.com.
