    Answer: The ITIN can only be applied at the time of filing taxes.

At the time of filing taxes, please bring a copy of parent’s passport (first page, last page, visa page & I-94 page). If your parents already left United States, ask them to make good photo copies of the passport and send. You may not have I-94 in this case but we can give it a good try.
