I stand corrected - it is the IRS that issues ITIN's although I previously said SSA.

Thanks to everyone who has enlightened me on this ITIN business.
I agree with Lou Esbin's remark that under BARF (I love that
acronym!) we may need to consider whether filing a case for an
undocumented alien might subject counsel to adverse consequences.

Sylvio,
Do we all need to step back and ponder whether, in fact, an
undocumented alien now, in the Post 9-11 and Patriot Act days, has
the right to file for bankruptcy protection. I am sure everyone
will agree that they have access to our courts to redress wrongs;
but what now? You wonder, are we to become border patrol officers?
Is there anything in the Patriot Act or some hidden federal statute
that places some added duty on us when an undocumented alien comes
to our offices for assistance? After all, under BARF we may have
criminal liability for advising a client to incur debt in
anticipation of bankruptcy -- what of advising an undocumented
alien? What rights will these people have to go to Credit
Counseling and Credit Education, both to be administered through the
DOJ, once BARF becomes effective? As an adjunct of the DOJ does a
Chapter 7 Trustee or Chapter 13 Trustee have a duty to report the
undocumented alien.
These are heady questions, but certainly ones that we all must
consider, and maybe, at our next round table discuss and try to
solicit a response from the UST.
Best regards. Lou Esbin

I checked the SSA web site. They no longer issue ITIN's to aliens who
are not authorized to work in the US (such as my potential client's
situation). They will issue a number only if alien can show that
they must have an SSN to apply for benefits to which they are
otherwise entitled. I don't think bankruptcy falls into this category.
From what I read on the SSA web site, there is no way in the
post-9/11 world that he can get an SSN. So, my question remains,
does the client have to have one in order to file? The disclosure
statement form offers the option of the debtor having no SSN. Does
that imply that the court will accept a petition without such a number?

Does the potential client have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)? The SSA issues ITIN's to immigrants and this number can be used on the petition. You will also have to file a declaration of use of false ssn that must be served on all creditors and credit reporting agencies. Hope this helps.
