ITIN Scams Targeting Brazilian Applicants — Red Flags to Watch

  • Not a registered CAA — Any service that cannot prove IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent status is potentially fraudulent.
  • Promises of instant ITIN — The IRS takes 8–14 weeks. Anyone promising faster is misleading you.
  • Asks for original passport — A real CAA certifies copies. Mailing your original passport is unnecessary and risky.
  • Unlicensed 'helpers' on social media — Instagram and WhatsApp 'ITIN agents' with no verifiable credentials are high-risk.
  • Excessive upfront fees ($300+) — Legitimate ITIN services charge $99–$199. Excessive fees are a warning sign.
⚠️ No US–Brazil Tax Treaty: Brazil has no income tax treaty with the United States. Your ITIN is still required for IRS compliance and W-8BEN filings, but standard US withholding rates apply.

⚠️ 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 Verify a Legitimate ITIN Service

The IRS maintains a directory of verified Certifying Acceptance Agents. Before you pay anyone to help with your ITIN application, verify their CAA status at irs.gov. Legitimate CAAs are listed by country and region — you can confirm ITIN Plus's status directly on the IRS website.

Common scam patterns targeting Brazilians include: WhatsApp groups offering 'cheap ITIN in 2 weeks', Instagram profiles claiming to be 'IRS-certified' without verifiable credentials, and services that demand your original passport for mailing. ITIN Plus never asks for your original documents — as a CAA, we certify copies. Our $99 flat fee is transparent with no hidden charges.
