ITIN Status Check: Track Your ITIN Application
You can check your ITIN application status by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. The IRS does not offer online ITIN status tracking. Wait at least 7 weeks after submitting your application before calling. If you applied through our service, we monitor your application and send you updates by email.

IRS ITIN Hotline
1-800-829-1040
Available Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM local time. When you call, select your language, then choose the option for ITIN inquiries. Wait times vary but expect 15-45 minutes during tax season.
Before you call, have the following information ready: the name on your ITIN application, your date of birth, the tax year on your application, and the address you used on Form W-7. The IRS agent will verify your identity before sharing any status information.
The IRS recommends waiting at least 7 weeks after mailing your application before checking status. Calling earlier will not speed up processing and the IRS may not have your application in their system yet. For current processing times, check our detailed guide. You can also learn about ITIN status codes explained to understand what the IRS tells you.
