ITIN Processing Timeline for Brazilian Residents
- 8–14 weeks standard — The IRS processes W-7 applications from non-US residents in 8–14 weeks.
- Peak season delays — January through April (US tax season) may add 2–4 extra weeks.
- CAA submissions are faster — Applications submitted by a Certifying Acceptance Agent go through a verified channel, reducing rejection risk.
- CP567 rejection = start over — Rejected applications restart the clock. Using a CAA prevents this.
- IRS follow-up — ITIN Plus follows up with the IRS on your behalf throughout the 8–14 week window.
⚠️ 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.
How to Get Your Brazilian ITIN Faster
The IRS processes ITIN applications from Brazilians in 8–14 weeks — measured from the date they receive your complete W-7 package. The fastest way to stay within this window is to submit through an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA), who verifies your documents upfront and eliminates the most common causes of delay.
Common delay causes include: missing documentation, incorrect W-7 completion, or submission during peak tax season (January–April). ITIN Plus reviews your complete application before submission to the IRS — ensuring nothing is missing. We also monitor your application's status and follow up proactively so you don't have to.
