I need to get a ITIN number and I have a question about supporting documents.

Since I am a student I need to attach I-20 along with the copy of passport, I-94, and driver license.

Question!

Every documents have to be notarized? Can I submit a just copy of the documents?

What other documents do I need?

The instructions of form W7 have a list of what documents you need:

If you send copies of those documents, you need to have them notarized. Your bank might offer free notary public services. Some post offices, UPS stores also offer these services (for a fee probably)

The BEST document to submit is a notarized photocopy of the passport page. That is the ONLY document that can be submitted by itself as identity proof.
