Many companies use the form in partnership with the IRS Form 6166 Certification of US Tax Residency.

You will need to apostille the form when showing your status as a US-based business outside of this country. Your destination country may request all business forms, including an apostille IRS form 8832.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a way to prove the authenticity of a document. Before the Hague Convention of 1961, each country had its form of authenticating a document. All member countries of the Hague Convention of 1961 agreed to accept the apostille as a way to prove a document is genuine. Nonmember countries must still have the document approved by the country’s embassy.

If you need to apostille an IRS form 8832, the steps involved are:

• Obtain an original tax form 8832 on US Department of Treasury stationery or a certified copy from the US Department of Treasury.
• If you need an apostille, you will then submit your form and application for the apostille to the US Department of State in Washington DC.
• If you need embassy legalization, you must submit the tax form 8832 and application to the embassy of the required country.
