1. You can write "APPLIED FOR" in the social security box on the paper form.

2. You must mail documentation that substantiates foreign/alien status and true identity for each individual.  You can also get these documents verified by an acceptance agent if you can go to a location so that you do not have to mail the documents .  For a list of acceptable documents or acceptance agent information, see Publication 1915, Understanding Your Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

3. Mail Form W-7/W-7(SP), proof of identity documents and your income tax return to:
