That's mostly in cases where child's citizenship has not been established beforehand. Is that your case?


Yeah, i haven't established my child citizenship yet. What should i do, then?


Good. In that case, we need to see proof of child's U.S citizenship, through certain documents, such as U.S birth certificate or U.S passport.


Oh, right, right, it's logical. Um, but, what can i do if i don't have one or both of those documents? can i still keep going?


Sure, don't worry. If happens that you don't have one or any of those documents at hand and you are not able to get a replacement shortly, then we can allow you to present other documents to us. Of course, such documents must be valid and showing date of birth or age, as well as a recent photograph.


Oh, of course i'll keep that in mind. Look, what happens if i'm not a U.S citizen?


You don't need to worry. If you're under that condition, the Social Security will ask you to see a current DHS document, such as Form I-551 Permanent Resident Card, for example.


Oh that's good there is many options. Look, going back on child's documents, once more, what can i do if i don't have a document, at hand?.


No problem. In that case, we can always accept some other document. For example, we can accept a state issued non driver identification card or in case being adopted, child's adoption decree.


Thanks, that's really helpful. Say, do i need to show something to you?


Indeed, you do. You need to show us a proof of your identity. As for the child, that document must be a valid one and have name, age and a recent photograph.


Then all this is what i have to go through to get that replacement, right?


That's correct. This is the process for you, in case your child's SSN card is lost or stolen.
