How to Renew Your ITIN from Saudi Arabia: 2025 Complete Guide
If you obtained your ITIN years ago and haven't used it to file a US tax return recently, your ITIN may have expired. The IRS has a rolling expiration policy for ITINs, and using an expired ITIN on a tax return or W-8BEN causes complications. This guide explains how to renew your expired ITIN from Saudi Arabia in 2025.
⚠️ No US-Saudi Arabia Tax Treaty:Saudi Arabia has no comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. US payers apply 30% withholding to Saudi residents without a valid ITIN and Form W-8BEN certifying foreign status.
Which ITINs Are Expired?
The IRS has expired ITINs on a rolling schedule since 2016. ITINs expire if they have not been used on a filed federal tax return for 3 consecutive years. Additionally, ITINs with specific middle digits (the fourth and fifth digits) were expired in batches:
- Middle digits 88, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 — expired in various years
- Middle digits 83–87 — expired 2019–2020
- Any ITIN not used on a tax return for 3 consecutive tax years — expired
Check your ITIN's middle digits and last usage date to determine if renewal is required.

How to Renew an ITIN from Saudi Arabia
ITIN renewal uses the same Form W-7 as the initial application. However, you mark "Renew an Existing ITIN" on the form. The process through ITIN Plus:
- Confirm your ITIN's expiration status
- Gather your passport (or certified copy via ITIN Plus CAA)
- Complete Form W-7 (marked for renewal) with ITIN Plus assistance
- Submit to IRS — your existing ITIN number is retained (not changed)
- IRS confirms renewal — typically 8–14 weeks
Important: You do not receive a new ITIN number upon renewal. The IRS simply reactivates your existing ITIN. Your original ITIN number (9XX-XX-XXXX) remains the same after renewal.
What Happens If You Use an Expired ITIN?
- IRS may reject your tax return or W-8BEN submission
- Tax refunds are delayed until renewal is complete
- Platforms may reject your W-8BEN with an expired ITIN
- You may face unnecessary withholding until ITIN is renewed and resubmitted
