I am deciding to go through the whole process of getting my wife an ITIN to be able to file as Married Jointly. I have a question on how to get a certified copy of her foreign passport as supporting documentation for W7.

I would appreciate getting someone who has been through similar need explaining the steps.

Thank you

I am Canadian. I contacted the passport office in Canada and requested a certified copy of my passport. In fact I requested a few. So her country of origin that gave her her passport hopefully offers this service.

Ensure the passport does not have an upcoming exparation date - the first cwrtified passport copy I sent to IRS only had 7 months left on it. They requested a new one.

On the IRS website they state the requirement of identification needed. As long as it is a certified copy of foreign spouse from the issuing agency containing a stamp. My question is, does it need to translated because obviously the stamp will not ultimately in English?

is your wife living in US? Because you can file directly with a taxpayer assistance center. They verify the passport right there and then send your application and tax return directly to the correct address.
