That is correct. Those documents involve to prove your citizenship, you U.S citizenship.
Do you have the documents, or not?
No, no, i don't have'em
Am, this i think i know the answer but i've been living outside of the U.S for long time, what would need then?
Well, in those cases, you would need a current or previous passport, school or employment records and any other records that show your long term stay outside the U.S. That would help to show us that you don't have a SS number.
So i have a broad option, isnt? Any document will do it, always it can show a proof of my residence outside?
Outside U.S, yes. But remember those documents must be original.
Okey dokey. Oh, i have a child who is 13, he can apply for his SSN card online too?
Sorry, but no. Any individual of age 12 or older must appear in person for an interview. In the same fashion, he'll need to prove tat he doesn't have any SS number.
Ok, i'll have to take previsions on that. A last question, what if i don't have one of those documents you mentioned before?
