Robinhood Account With an ITIN or Tax ID Number (2026)

Can I Open a Robinhood Account with an ITIN?

Points to know:

• Robinhood does not accept Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) when opening a brokerage account.

• A Social Security number (SSN) must be used to open a Robinhood brokerage account.

• A residential address in the U.S. is also required to open a brokerage account at Robinhood.

Robinhood has several requirements for new applicants. Here are the details:

Does Robinhood Accept an ITIN?

If you want to open a new U.S.-based brokerage account at Robinhood, you must have a Social Security number. No other tax identification number is accepted. This policy also applies to Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs).

Although an SSN is required to open a Robinhood brokerage account, the brokerage firm doesn't require U.S. citizenship. A valid U.S. visa or permanent resident status can be used in place of citizenship. In any case, a legal U.S. residential address must be provided on the broker's account application. Besides the 50 U.S. states, an address in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands is also accepted.

Robinhood has one exception to the rule about a U.S. address: active U.S. military personnel stationed overseas may qualify to open accounts. In all cases, the minimum age is 18 to open an account.

Other Restrictions

Robinhood customers who have connections to countries subject to sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) may face restrictions when opening or maintaining accounts. For example, customers, including U.S. citizens, who travel to certain countries cannot access their accounts while there. Attempting to log in from these locations may result in account restrictions. Robinhood also restricts account access from certain countries based on its own policies. Examples include:

Belarus
Cuba
Iran
Myanmar
North Korea
Russia
Sudan and South Sudan
Syria
Ukraine
Venezuela

Crypto for Europeans

There is one service Robinhood operates that is an exception to the U.S. brokerage account's SSN requirement: crypto. Robinhood operates a crypto service in Europe that accepts applications from eligible residents of supported European countries. This service does not require a U.S. Social Security number, although applicants must provide the required identification and tax information.
