Application for United States Residency Certification
In more detail
Form 8802 is the application that produces Form 6166, an IRS letter certifying that a person or entity is a US tax resident for treaty purposes. It is used to claim reduced withholding or exemptions under the US-UK treaty — for example to lower foreign tax withheld on dividends, interest, royalties, or pension income. The application carries a user fee and can take time to process, so it is best requested well before the income arises.
