The Blugency Promise, three commitments in every order.

We file your application with the IRS within 5 business days after your passport check. With Express, we file within 2 business days. After that, the IRS usually takes about 7 weeks to send your ITIN. From January 15 to April 30, or if you apply from outside the U.S., it can take 9 to 11 weeks. These are the IRS's own estimates, and processing sometimes takes longer. If it does, we follow up with the IRS for you until your ITIN arrives.

No. You upload it to your secure Blugency dashboard, then our certifying acceptance agent verifies it with you on a short video call and certifies it for the IRS. Your passport stays with you, and the IRS never holds it.
Yes. Stripe asks U.S. account holders for a Social Security number, or an ITIN if they don't have one. PayPal accepts an SSN, an EIN or an ITIN as your U.S. tax number. With an ITIN, you verify both in your own name.
Many U.S. banks accept an ITIN, together with your passport, to open a personal account. Some U.S. card issuers also accept an ITIN instead of an SSN, including cards made for building credit. Each bank sets its own rules. Your company's business account uses its EIN.
We check your reason for an ITIN before we file. If you don't qualify, you get a full refund before we file. If the IRS rejects your application, we correct it and refile right away, at no cost to you.
The IRS issues an ITIN only for a federal tax reason. We confirm yours first and prepare the tax return that goes with your application. Once your ITIN arrives, you can use it with Stripe, PayPal and U.S. banks.
Yes. Most ITIN applications must be filed together with a U.S. federal tax return, so we prepare it with your W-7 at no extra cost.
Yes, in the same order for $149 each. Our agent verifies their passports, and birth certificates for children.
Yes, and the IRS doesn't charge for it. But you mail your original passport to the IRS, and it can take up to 60 days to come back. One mistake on your W-7, or a missing tax return, means a rejection and a new wait. With us, your passport stays with you and your application is checked before it's filed.
Yes. Our team speaks English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Turkish, and replies the same day.
No. An ITIN is for taxes only. It doesn't authorize work, change immigration status or qualify you for Social Security benefits.
Only if you stop using it. An ITIN not used on a U.S. federal tax return for 3 tax years in a row expires on December 31 after the third year. Get yours with us and we'll remind you before it expires, and renew it at the same price.
