Do I need ITIN as Japanese citizen to get my deposited money back?
I am Japanese girl.
I was a student in US and have deposited some money in bank account.
I am back to Japan now.
I am filing the W-8BEN.
Do I need to submit the following to get my full money back ?
ITIN
Foreign tax identifying number
I don't have any of thesis, what do I do?
EDIT: Actually since I came back to Japan, my account was closed after sometime and now the money is under the custody of US govt and not the bank.

If you can provide evidence that you are the person who opened the account (which may be as simple as providing your signature, since this isn't really different from asking for a bank check or inter-bank transfer or ATM-network transfer), there should be no problem.
Contact your bank and ask them what information they need to provide.
The line you are referring to says
5 U.S. taxpayer identification number (SSN or ITIN), if required (see
instructions)
It does not appear to be required in your case.
