- Complete Form W-7: Fill out the "Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number."
- Gather Documents: Provide proof of foreign status and identity, such as a passport.
- Submit Application: Mail the form and documents to the IRS, visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center, or use a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA).
For more details, visit the IRS website and the Form W-7 instructions and forms.
