Application for a U.S. Social Security Number

from Outside the United States

Applicants applying for a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) from outside the United States must be

either a U.S. citizen or eligible Non-U.S. citizen (see below for eligibility criteria).

The following instructions are supplemental to the information listed on Form SS-5: Application for a

Social Security Card, which can be downloaded from the Social Security Administration’s website

Documentation required when applying for a SSN is listed on

the Form SS-5. Please note, all submitted documents must be originals or documents certified by the

custodian of the original document (the issuing authority).

ALL APPLICANTS

Must submit a completed application with the following supporting documents (Examples of

acceptable supporting documents are listed on the instructions on Form SS-5):

 Completed and signed Form SS-5: Application for a Social Security Card;

 Evidence of age;

 Evidence of identity; and

 Evidence of U.S. citizenship or Immigration Status.

 Evidence of identity of the parent who will sign the Form SS-5 on a child’s behalf

For applicants age 12 and older, additional documents are required as noted below depending on their

citizenship or Immigration Status:

IF APPLICANT IS A U.S. CITIZEN (AGE 12 & OLDER)

The applicant is required to submit their application in person and undergo a mandatory interview at

the U.S. Embassy or Consulate serving their area.

To support their application, applicants are also required to submit original documents that detail their

not residing in the United States for a prolonged period of time. This is used to justify the reason why

the applicant has never applied for a Social Security Number prior to age 12. While every year of

absence does not need to be covered, a reasonable number of documents should be presented to

demonstrate that the applicant has been living outside the United States for a prolonged period of

time. Examples of acceptable documents include, but are not limited to, academic/school records,

employment records, and/or travel documents. Supporting documents must identify locations abroad

(i.e. city, state or province).
