What is an ITIN and how do I get one?

An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number is a tax-processing number issued by the IRS to people who can't get a Social Security number but need to file US taxes. You apply by submitting Form W-7 along with your federal tax return.

Do I need legal status in the US to qualify?

ITIN programs vary. Some lenders don't require legal status, others do. The ITIN itself is not a work authorization or proof of legal status — it's purely a tax-filing tool.

What credit score will I need?

Most programs want a 620+ FICO when there's a traditional credit file. Borrowers with a thin file or no FICO may still qualify through alternative trade-line verification (rent, utilities, insurance, cell phone payments).

How much down payment is required?

Typically 15–25% on a primary residence depending on the lender, your credit profile, and reserves. Investment properties require more.

Can I use gift funds for the down payment?

Most ITIN programs allow gift funds from family with the same documentation conventional loans require — a gift letter and bank statements showing the source of the funds.

Will the lender report the loan to my credit?

Many ITIN lenders do report to credit bureaus, which helps build US credit history. Confirm with the specific lender — reporting practices vary.

Can I refinance later into a conventional loan?

If you obtain an SSN in the future and meet conventional credit and income guidelines, refinancing into a conventional loan is generally possible. The mortgage payment history on your ITIN loan will support the new qualification.
