Are you an American citizen?
We will need documents. Do you have your foreign birth certificate?
I am not sure. What do I do if I can't find it?
You can submit your passport or possibly documentation from DHS that proves your age.
I can do that. Is this how I get an original social security card for a foreign born US citizen?
Yes.
Do I need to attend an in person interview?
Yes, there is a required in person interview. You will need to show that you do not have a Social security number.
I do not have one. I have lived in the US, and I am just now trying to get a social security number.
Okay, we may need to ask for background on the schools you attended.
What if I lived outside of the US for a long time?
