Taxsym Opens IRS Certified Acceptance Agent Office in Islamabad for ITIN Access Across Middle East & Asia

IRS Certified Acceptance Agent office in Islamabad enables ITIN applications for entrepreneurs across Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, and 30+ countries.

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN, March 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Taxsym - IRS Certified Acceptance Agents (taxsym.com), operated by Cartzen LLC, today announced the opening of a new IRS certifying acceptance agent office in Islamabad, Pakistan. The location serves as a regional hub for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and investors across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Turkey, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and the broader Middle East and South Asia regions who need a U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

This expansion follows the successful launch of Taxsym's first international IRS-certified office in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2025, which serves entrepreneurs throughout Latin America. The Islamabad location marks Taxsym's second global office and its first serving the Middle East and Asia.

Why Islamabad: Closing the ITIN Access Gap for the Middle East and Asia

An ITIN is the mandatory U.S. tax identification number for non-U.S. residents who need to file taxes, open U.S. business bank accounts, register on platforms like Stripe, PayPal, and Amazon FBA, form a U.S. LLC, or invest in U.S. real estate. Without an ITIN, foreign entrepreneurs are locked out of the U.S. financial system entirely.

Until now, applicants in the Middle East and South Asia had two options: mail their original passport to the IRS in Austin, Texas - a process that takes 8–14 weeks and risks document loss - or travel to a U.S. embassy. Taxsym's Islamabad office eliminates both barriers through IRS-authorized local document certification.

Countries and Regions Served

The Islamabad office serves applicants from the following countries and regions:

South Asia: Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal
Gulf States (GCC): United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman
Middle East & Central Asia: Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan
East & Southeast Asia: China, Indonesia,Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand
Africa: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, and additional countries

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IRS Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA)?
A CAA is authorized by the IRS to verify identity documents and certify passport copies for ITIN applications. This eliminates the need to mail original passports to the IRS. Taxsym is listed on the IRS.gov Acceptance Agent directory for both Pakistan and Argentina.

Can I get a U.S. ITIN without filing a tax return?
Yes. While the IRS traditionally requires a federal tax return (Form 1040-NR) to be attached to ITIN applications, Taxsym specializes in exception-based ITIN applications that do not require filing a tax return. Qualifying exceptions include opening a U.S. business bank account, forming a U.S. LLC, receiving payments through platforms like Stripe or PayPal, and third-party tax reporting obligations.

Can I get a U.S. ITIN from Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, or the Middle East without visiting the U.S.?
Yes. Taxsym offers a fully remote ITIN application process for applicants across Pakistan, the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia. The entire process — from initial application to document certification to IRS submission - is managed online.

Who needs a U.S. ITIN?
Any non-U.S. citizen without a Social Security Number who needs to file U.S. taxes, open a U.S. business bank account, receive payments through Stripe or PayPal, operate a U.S. LLC, or invest in U.S. real estate requires an ITIN.
