ITIN Tax number

Aren't they looking for an American Social Security Number? Surely you have one being an American Citizen? ( Dual nationality ) 

I completed mine recently. I indicated that I wasn't US citizen and put Tax Number of Country I'm resident in. 

Hello thanks so much for your reply.My lawyer thought that too. I have been to the bank in Spain twice and gave them my National Insurance number. I have never had a SSN as far as I know. It is to do with Spain and US something called FATCO.I have an appointment at the US Embassy in London next week so I will let you and all know how I get on.  Thanks Lisa

Hi I am both US and UK Citizen maybe it was when I was born there I was dual. It might have changed. Is the Tax no you put your National Insurance number?.I am useless with Tax. My Spanish bank is just not having it. I am applying for what is called an IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).Having a hard time and we dont always understand each other very well. Thanks Lisa

Your Bank obviously assuming you have a US reference/liability eg Nationality/Passport/Birthplace. Did you open your account with a UK Passport or any reference to the US ?

I just put UK NI number on my Form, no US references. I would have assumed all US Nationals/Citizens would have a SS number. The US Embassy sounds like your best bet, eg supplying a relevant Number for the Bank

Hi 

We're going through the exact same problem at the moment. Have already been to US Embassy in Madrid so maybe just 1 step further than you.

Complicated to say the least!!
