If I do not want to mail my original documents to the IRS when renewing my ITIN, do I have other options?

irs itin number status, irs itin number application, irs itin number renewal, irs itin number customer service, irs itin number appointment,

Yes, In lieu of sending original documentation, you may be eligible to use an IRS authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) or make an appointment at a designated IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (TAC) location. To find a local CAA in your area, you can visit Acceptance Agent Program or check your local telephone directory for the nearest location. CAAs can authenticate all the identification documents for the primary and secondary applicants.  For dependents, they can authenticate the passport and civil birth certificate; however, they must send the original or certified copies of all other documents directly to the IRS.
