This training course provides the skills to effectively identify the difference between authentic vs. fraudulent identification documents, such as passports, driver's licenses, birth certificates, visas, national identification cards, military and US state ID cards.
The course can take several hours to complete, and then, after passing a 30 question quiz, you will be immediately provided an e-delivered certificate. Along with this e-delivered certificate you will also receive 2 physical certificates of completion delivered via USPS Priority Mail. The physical certificate is the one required to be mailed to the IRS ITIN Program Office with your 13551 ITIN CAA Application to participate in the IRS Acceptance Agent Program or renewal form. This course and its certificate are accepted by the IRS for your new CAA Forensic Document Training Requirement.
