Are you in need of that replacement with work purpose or for other reasons?
No, i'm not in need of the card for any of that. Just wanted to know about the replacement process
Let's say i don't have permission to work. Can i still apply for a social security number?
Sure. If you are in that scenario, you can still apply for a SSN under certain circumstances, such as requested for a federal or local law in order to get some assistance benefit.
