Social Security Numbers for Noncitizens
Social Security Numbers for Noncitizens
Does a noncitizen need a Social
Security number?
Unless you are a noncitizen who wants to
work in the United States, you probably don’t
need a Social Security number.
Generally, only noncitizens authorized to
work in the United States by the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) can get a Social
Security number. Social Security numbers
are used to report a person’s wages to the
government and to determine a person’s
eligibility for Social Security benefits. You
need a Social Security number to work, collect
Social Security benefits, and receive some other
government services.
Lawfully admitted noncitizens can get many
benefits and services without a Social Security
number. You don’t need a number to get a
driver’s license, register for school, get private
health insurance, or apply for school lunch
programs or subsidized housing.
Some organizations use Social Security
numbers to identify you in their records. Most,
however, will identify you by some other means
if you request it.
We can’t assign you a Social Security number
solely for you to be able to get a driver’s license
or a service that requires a credit check.
Although many companies, such as banks
and credit companies, may ask for your Social
Security number, you generally aren’t required
to provide one if you don’t have one.
How can I get a Social Security
number and card?
If you are an immigrant, there are two ways
you can apply.
• You can apply in your home country before
you come to the United States when filing an
application for an immigrant visa with the
U.S. Department of State. In almost all cases,
if you apply for a Social Security number and
card with your immigrant visa application,
you don’t have to visit a Social Security office
in the United States. (For more information,
see www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnvisa); or
• You can visit a Social Security office in person.
See section below for what you need to bring
with you to the Social Security office.
If you are not an immigrant, you must visit a
Social Security office to apply.
What do I need to bring to the Social
Security office?
You need to prove your Identity and
work-authorized immigration status.
To prove your identity and work-authorized
immigration status, show us your current U.S.
immigration documents and your unexpired
foreign passport. Acceptable immigration
documents include your:
• Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card,
includes machine-readable immigrant visa);
• Admission stamp showing a class of
admission permitting work;
• Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record); or
• Form I-766 (Employment Authorization
Document, EAD, work permit).
Exchange visitors: If you’re a J-1 or J-2
exchange visitor, we also need to see your
DS-2019, Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange
Visitor Status. If you are a J-1 student, student
intern, or international visitor, you must
provide a letter from your sponsor. The letter
should be on sponsor letterhead with an original
signature that authorizes your employment.
International students: If you’re an F-1 or
M-1 student, we need to see your Form I-20,
Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant
Student Status. For information on other
documents that students must provide, ask for
International Students And Social Security
Numbers (Publication No. 05-10181).
You need to prove age.
You must present your foreign birth certificate
if you have it or can get it within 10 business
days. If not, we can consider other documents,
such as your passport or a document issued by
DHS, as evidence of your age.
You need to complete an application.
You will need to complete an Application for
a Social Security Card (Form SS-5). You can do
this at the Social Security office or you can find
a copy of this form on our website that you can
print and bring with you.
Important: All documents must be either
originals or copies certified by the issuing
agency. We cannot accept photocopies or
notarized copies of documents. We also cannot
accept a receipt showing you applied for
the document.
We may use one document for two purposes.
For example, we may use your DHS work
permit as proof of both your identity and workauthorized
immigration status. Your birth
certificate or passport may serve as proof of
age. However, you must provide at least two
separate documents.
When should I apply?
We recommend you wait 10 days after
arriving in the United States to apply for a
Social Security number to make it easier for us
to verify your DHS documents online, which
will speed processing of your Social Security
number application.
We will mail your number and card as soon as
we have all of your information and have verified
your documents with the issuing offices.
How much does applying for a Social
Security number and card cost?
Applying for a Social Security number and
card is free.
What if I need a number for
other reasons?
If you aren’t authorized by DHS to work in
the United States, you can get a Social Security
number only if you can prove you need it for a
valid non-work reason. That might happen, for
example, if a state or federal law requires you to
have a Social Security number to get benefits to
which you have already established entitlement.
If you need a number for tax purposes,
and you aren’t authorized to work in the
United States, you can apply for an Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number from the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Visit the IRS
in person, or call the IRS toll-free number,
1-800-TAXFORM (1-800-829-3676), and request
Form W-7, Application For An Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number.
If a business or government agency asks you
for a Social Security number and you are not
authorized to work in the United States, ask if
they can identify you in some other way. In most
cases, you’ll be able to get the service or license
you need without a Social Security number.
