Why Indonesian LLC Owners Need ITIN for Mercury Bank

- Stripe + Mercury combo — Many Indonesian entrepreneurs pair Stripe payments with Mercury banking — both require ITIN.

⚠️ Only an IRS Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) Can Certify Your Documents
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 documents, file your W-7 directly with the IRS, and track your application. No original passport mailing required.
