Original Card for a Foreign Born U.S. Citizen Child 
Important You must present original documents or copies certified by the agency that issued them. We cannot accept photocopies or notarized copies. All documents must be current not expired. We cannot accept a receipt showing you applied for the document. 

What original documents do I need? 
Citizenship We can accept only certain documents as proof of U.S. citizenship. These include : Certification of Report of Birth DS-1350 ; Consular Report of Birth Abroad FS-240 ; U.S. passport ; Certificate of Citizenship N-560/N-561 ; Certificate of Naturalization N-550/N-570. Age You must present your child's foreign birth certificate if you have it or can get it within 10 days. If not , we will consider other documents such as your child's passport or a document issued by DHS as evidence of your child's age. Anyone age 12 or older requesting an original Social Security number must appear in person for an interview. We will ask for evidence so we can check our records that we have not already issued a Social Security card to your child. Here are examples of documents that we may need to see : If your child lived outside the United States for an extended period , a current or previous passport , school and/or employment records , and any other record that would show long - term residence outside the United States. If your child has lived in the United States information about the schools your child attended , and copies of tax records. Identity Your child : We can accept only certain documents as proof of your child's identity. An acceptable document must show your child's name, identifying information i.e., age, date of birth, or parents' names and preferably a recent photograph. We generally can accept a non - photo identity document if it has enough information to identify the child such as the child's name and age, date of birth or parents' names. We prefer to see the child's U.S. passport. If that document is not avai

user: Hi, i wanted to know something. I have a Foreign born U.S citizen child, is possible to me to present documents to get a original card?

assistant: Well, yeah, is perfectly possible for you to present documents. In fact, you'll need documents to prove you he /she is a U.S citizen, such as Certification of Report of Birht or child's U.S passport.

assistant: Do yo have any of these documents or not?

user: Yeah, in fact i have them, thank god. I took my previsions. But in any case i wouldn't have them, you would accept some other document?

assistant: Sure, there's an option if that's the case. We can take in account other documents such as your child's passport, so we can verify your child's age. Of course, that document must come from DHS.

user: Ok that's great to know it, thanks. Another question,just to be sure. You just accept certain documents, do you? i.e Certificate of report of birth? that's essential, isn't?

assistant: That's correct. That document, DS-1350, would be one of the main ones we'll need to proceed with your request.

user: umm, well i tought that would be the case. Say, what about child's age? is that something i have to keep in mind in order to request SSN?

assistant: Well, in fact, it is. If your child is over 12, he must come to the office in person, so he can go through an interview. Plus, we'll verify if a SSN hasn't been issued to him / her before.

user: Do i need to present something in that case?

assistant: Yes. You'll need to present a proof of your identity, with an non expired document.
