Hi, you may want to do this with a Certified Public Accountant. You do not need a "certified copy" of your passport, just a regular legible copy. There are other documents you may provide to prove your identity as indicated by the IRS in their website (https://www.irs.gov/individuals/revised-application-standards-for-itins).
Since you mentioned you are currently in removal proceedings please retain an immigration attorney for your case. Good luck.
