Conditions to know
- You never mail your passport. An IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) verifies your documents for the IRS.
- No passport? Two other current IDs (for example a national ID card and birth certificate) can be used — we tell you what fits.
- Upload documents securely in your client portal or send them to us on WhatsApp.
