ITIN - received notice CP566 to after visiting IRS in-person verification TAC.

Hi
On March 30 2013, I submitted ITIN and tax return to IRS office at St Petersburg, FL (110 miles form orlando, fl) which provides in-person verification and certify the original passports.


On April 29 2013, I received a notice CP566 from IRS
"Unable to process ITIN application until a valid documentation is send. The passport which was submitted did not meet the IRS criteria:"

Now they are asking to send either original passport (IRS prefers this) or send a certified copy.

I called the ITIN office and they said there is some line on the passports photo page and cannot verify the document.

Should I send the original passport to IRS or get a certified copy and then send the certified copy ?

Last year my friend had the same issue, he went to one of the in-person verification center with that letter and passports, they verified it and gave the passport back. He received ITIN and return was processed successfully.
