Sure, no problem. For that, you need to present some original document certified by the agency that issued them.
I must ask, do you want to claim your child for tax purposes?
Yeah, that's exactly what i want to do.
Perfect. In that case, you must contact the U.S IRS for you to get Form W-7A or Application for Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S Adoptions.
Great, that's just great, thanks. Where can i go if i'm in need for more information?
You can look Publication Nº 05-10023, Social Security Numbers for Children, for more information.
Ok. Say, just happened to cross my mind, Can my adopted child have a SSN number before its adoption ends?
Well, that would be a yes. There is some cases that we can assign a number to the child before its adoption process ends, but we recommend to wait instead, cause in that way you can get a SSN with your child's new name.
That sounds reasonable. Ok, another question, please. What can i do in case i don't have a specific document at hand?
If you have that scenario, then you'll need to show us other documents. Of course, these documents will need to be unexpired, and showing your name, date of birth or age and recent photograph, as seen on a Employee identification card, for example.
Right, right, i see, thanks. Another last question, please. Do you accept any documents to proof my child's identity?
