Understanding the difference between ITIN and SSN

Learn the key distinctions between these two U.S. identification numbers and how Globalfy can help you with the ITIN application process.


At Globalfy, we assist with the application process for the ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number), which serves as a tax identification number for non-resident foreign individuals in the United States. In essence, it is your U.S. taxpayer identification number.

By contrast, the SSN (Social Security Number) is the U.S. equivalent of Brazil’s CPF + PIS. It is a registration number issued by the IRS for U.S. residents and is also linked to Social Security benefits. Importantly, this number is not available to non-residents.

The ITIN application process with Globalfy costs $275 per person and typically takes around 120 business days to be issued.
