Using your passport (either original or certified copy) is the most recommended, because using a passport, you do not need to submit any other documents. You must use the physical, Original Passport, OR, you can use a Certified Copy of the passport by a Certified Issuing Agency.
If you do NOT have a valid (unexpired) Passport, you must use 2 of the following documents in combination with each other. One document to prove your Foreign Status, and one document to prove your Identity. See the chart below on which documents can be used.
Listed below are the only documents that will be accepted by the
IRS. An "X" in the Foreign Status and/or Identity column, indicates
that the supporting documentation satisfies that category.
A valid (unexpired) passport is the only stand-alone document to
prove both identity and foreign status.
