We will need to initially establish citizenship for your child
Has your child got or can they obtain a US state-issued birth certificate that has recorded his/her birth before the age of 5?
Yes, they have
You must then submit this document to us
What if I don't have a US state-issued birth certificate for my child?
We can use your child's passport to determine their age
What is the process for a child applying for a Social Security Card?
Everyone over the age of 12 must appear in person for an interview. We need to see proof that your child does not have a Social Security number. There are examples given of documents that you can use to prove a Social Security number was never assigned
What documents are needed if my child has lived in the United States and is applying for an original Social Security number?
We will ask for your child's school records or any tax records that would show your child was never assigned a Social Security number
What type of document is needed by me as identification?
