Um, ok, thanks. Just to be sure about an earlier point, only non citizens with work permit can apply for SSN, correct?
That's correct. Only those with work permit from DHS can apply.
Thanks. Look, i don't have this condition, but i wanted to know what i would need to show in case i need a social security number with tax purposes?
Sure, i can give you that information. If you have that case, you can apply for an individual Taxpayer identification number from the U.S IRS. You need to call the IRS toll free number to get more info.
