Get a U.S. ITIN Online from Pakistan, UAE, India, and Across the Middle East & Asia#
If you're an entrepreneur, freelancer, or investor in Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, or anywhere in the Middle East and Asia — and you need a U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) — you can now apply entirely online through an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent based in Islamabad, Pakistan.
We're excited to announce that Taxsym - IRS Certified Acceptance Agents has officially opened a new IRS-certified office at 88 Chinar Road, I-10/3, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan. This is our second international office after Buenos Aires, Argentina, and it's specifically designed to serve entrepreneurs across the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and Africa.
This announcement was covered across 130+ news outlets including FOX 2 St. Louis, CBS 17 Raleigh, NBC 8 Tampa, KRON 4 San Francisco, Pakistan Business Times, India Business Daily, and the Asia Business Gazette. You can read the full press release on EIN Presswire.
Why We Opened an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent Office in Islamabad#
An ITIN is the mandatory U.S. tax identification number that every non-U.S. resident needs to participate in the American financial system. Without one, you cannot open a U.S. business bank account, register on Stripe or PayPal, form a U.S. LLC, file U.S. taxes, or invest in U.S. real estate. It's the single biggest barrier that keeps international entrepreneurs locked out of the world's largest economy.
For years, entrepreneurs in Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, and across the Middle East and Asia had only two options to get an ITIN: mail their original passport to the IRS in Austin, Texas — a process that takes 8 to 14 weeks and carries real risk of document loss — or fly to a U.S. embassy or consulate for in-person verification.
Our Islamabad office eliminates both of those barriers entirely. As an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA), Taxsym is authorized by the Internal Revenue Service to verify identity documents and certify passport copies locally. That means you keep your passport, you don't have to visit the U.S., and the entire process can be completed remotely from wherever you are.
Taxsym is officially listed on the IRS.gov Acceptance Agent directory for Pakistan, which you can verify directly through the IRS website.

How to Apply for a U.S. ITIN Online with Taxsym#
The entire ITIN application process is designed to be completed remotely. Here's exactly how it works:
Step 1 — Start Your Application Online
Visit taxsym.com and begin your ITIN application. A dedicated IRS Certified Acceptance Agent will review your eligibility, determine the correct IRS exception category for your situation, prepare IRS Form W-7, and ensure all supporting documentation meets federal requirements. Everything happens through secure document upload — no office visit needed at this stage.
Step 2 — Document Certification (Remote or In-Person)
This is where the IRS Certified Acceptance Agent designation makes all the difference. Instead of mailing your original passport to the IRS, we certify your identity documents on behalf of the IRS.
You have two options:
- Remote certification: Applicants in UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Qatar, China, and all other countries can complete document certification remotely through our secure online coordination process. No travel to Pakistan or the U.S. is required at any stage.
- In-person certification: Applicants in Pakistan can coordinate an appointment in advance to visit our Islamabad office at 88 Chinar Road, I-10/3, Islamabad 44000 for in-person passport verification. Contact us at [email protected] or through taxsym.com to schedule your visit.
Step 3 — IRS Submission & Tracking
The certified application package is submitted directly to the IRS on your behalf. You'll receive online status updates throughout the entire processing period. IRS processing typically takes 7 to 11 weeks after submission.
Our track record: Taxsym has maintained a 100% ITIN approval rate across every application we've ever processed — backed by a full refund guarantee.
Can You Get an ITIN Without Filing a Tax Return?#
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer surprises most people: yes, you can.
The IRS traditionally requires a federal tax return (Form 1040-NR) to be attached to ITIN applications. However, there are several IRS-approved exceptions where no tax return is needed at all.
Taxsym specializes in these exception-based ITIN applications. Common qualifying exceptions include:
- Forming a U.S. LLC — You need an ITIN as the foreign owner of a U.S. entity for Form 5472 reporting purposes
- Opening a U.S. business bank account — Many banks require an ITIN for non-resident account holders
- Receiving payments through Stripe, PayPal, or Amazon — Third-party reporting obligations (Form 1099) create a qualifying exception
- U.S. real estate investments — FIRPTA withholding requirements qualify for an exception
- Tax treaty benefits — Claiming reduced withholding under a U.S. tax treaty with your home country
Our IRS Certified Acceptance Agents identify the correct exception category for your specific situation and handle the full submission. No 1040-NR tax return filing is required in most cases.
