While I would assume a US driver's license, if that is what you have, would be sufficient, its best to check with the players club of the casino in which you will be playing. All casinos may not have the same requirement.

ITINS are not issued by casinos, they are obtained by applying to the IRS. An ITIN is an identification number given to individuals without SSNs, and who are ineligible to get one (non resident aliens, for example), who are filing a US tax return.

OMT, I am fully aware of what is an ITIN. Our UK poster was asking what form of ID he would need for a hand pay. I don't carry any id that has my SSN. Driver's license nor Medicaid card have it. Whether you have a Social Security Number or an Individual Tax Identification Number, you need to prove your identity. My assumption is a US issued driver's license should be sufficient. Someone who has gotten a hand pay recently may be better suited to answer whether a driver's license works.

I guess the way the question was phrased is a bit confusing. But, to me, asking if "the Passport is a mandatory requirement......sufficient for them to complete the ITIN" suggested they wanted to know about getting an ITIN - but I could be wrong.

Perhaps the OP could clarify?
