The ITIN number is issued by the IRS, for certain resident and nonresident individuals who are required to have an identification number for tax purposes, but who don’t have or not eligible for a social security number. By using an IRS approved agency rather than doing the application yourself you will benefit.
Self prepared applications usually contain errors. To be accepted by the IRS the application has to be perfect, containing no errors. It is not unusual for self prepared applications to be sent back multiple times for correction, each time resulting in a delay of 2 to 3 months.
