Of course. You can replace your child 's Social Security card for free if it is lost or stolen. However, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during a lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits.
Does your child not have permission to work but does it need a Social Security number for other purposes?
Yes, that would be the case.
In that case you should see "If your child does not have permission to work" for further information.
Do you need proof of my identity?
Yes, we must see proof of your identity. An acceptable document must be current, not expired and show your name, identifying information date of birth or age and preferably a recent photograph.
What documents do I need to show you?
You must show us your child 's current U.S. immigration document. An I-551 Lawful Permanent Resident Card, Machine Readable Immigrant Visa or an I-766 Employment Authorization Document, EAD, work permit.
Alright, and what if I don't have one of these documents?
In that case we will ask to see other documents, for example an employee identification card. Any documents submitted, including the following, must be current, not expired and show your name, identifying information date of birth or age and preferably a recent photograph.
Can I use a taxpayer identification number to work, if I have one assigned for non-work purposes?
