Certifying Acceptance Agent
What is a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) ?
A Certifying Acceptance Agent is a person (business or organization ) who, pursuant to a written agreement with the IRS, is authorized to assist individuals and other foreign persons who do not qualify for a Social Security number but still need a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
Can a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) still submit Form W-7 to the IRS for taxpayers?
Yes. CAAs can still submit Form W-7 on behalf of clients. CAAs are allowed to use Form W-7 (COA) to certify that they have reviewed and verified the original documentation or a certified copy from the issuing agency of those documents through face-to-face or video electronic interviews. CAAs must have the original identification documents in their possession during the interview, in order to se the security features and authenticate the documents. CAAs are required to submit copies of the documents that they reviewed along with the Form W-7 (COA). For dependents, CAAs are allowed to authenticate the passport and birth certificate. For all other documents, you are required to attach the original documents or certified copies from the issuing agency.
