    Alien taxpayers who need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) may be able to secure one from outside the United States.
    Taxpayers located outside the U.S. may also contact the IRS by mail at:
    Internal Revenue Service
    P.O. Box 920
    Bensalem, PA 19020
    Or you may telephone or FAX the Philadelphia Service Center office at:
    Tel: 215-516-2000 (not toll-free)
    Fax: 215-516-2555

    No, you will not get ITIN for tax return now. You need to attach W-7 with your tax return. So wait till you are ready to file your tax return.

    Please the instructions for the latest version of Form W-7.

    The address you cite is three years out-of-date; the current ITIN Processing Center is in Austin, Texas.
