No problem. To do that, you'll need to prove first the child's citizenship, so you'll have to present some documents, such as certification of report of birth, consular report of birth abroad or U.S passport.
I assume you don't have any of these documents?
No, i don't, no.
Oh, hey, i was wondering if it is possible to present other documents as proof?
Sure. In that case, just certain documents are accepted, and these should have child's name, date of birth or age, and a recent photograph, to be acceptable.
So, those would be helpful to get that SSN card, isn't?
That's correct. Be aware though that any document you present must be originals or copies certified by the agency that issued them. Of course, must be unexpired too.
Ok, ok, i get it. But, just to be sure, what about if  i don't have any of these document at hand?
You have an option, too. We'll ask you other documents, and as said before, these documents must be unexpired and include key information about you, plus a recent photograph.
I don't want to be pesky about this, but, what if i really don't have a document like that at hand?
Well, that would be a real extraordinary scenario. Still, we can accept in any case a state issued non driver identification card or even, if that's the case, an adoption decree.
But, if i only had the child's certification of report of birth, that could work, right?
