Can someone confirm if the instructions below is correct to use "NRA" if the non - resident alien spouse does not have TIN and lives overseas?

When your spouse is a non-resident residing overseas and does not have an SSN or ITIN,  and you want to file your tax return using Married Filing Separately status......

-In the program, as you enter the information, leave the SSN space blank

-After you complete entering all the required information, print out returns and required forms.  Enter “NRA” in the space    for Spouse's identifying number. ( NRA stands for Nonresident Alien) Do not leave the space blank. 

-Submit all the forms and required documents to IRS based on the instructions on your print-out.
