What does an american tax id card look like?
An ITIN number issued for tax purposes is no longer issued as a card, as people were using it as a SS card.





If you qualify for an ITIN and your application is complete, you will receive a letter from the IRS assigning your tax identification number, usually within four to six weeks. The IRS has changed from an ITIN card to an authorization letter to avoid any possible similarities with a Social Security Number card. Current ITIN holders' cards will not be replaced; they should continue to use the numbers previously issued when they need to supply identifying numbers for tax purposes.


If you have not received your ITIN or other correspondence six weeks after applying, you may call the IRS to find out the status of your application.
