Ok that's great to know it, thanks. Another question,just to be sure. You just accept certain documents, do you? i.e Certificate of report of birth? that's essential, isn't?
That's correct. That document, DS-1350, would be one of the main ones we'll need to proceed with your request.
umm, well i tought that would be the case. Say, what about child's age? is that something i have to keep in mind in order to request SSN?
Well, in fact, it is. If your child is over 12, he must come to the office in person, so he can go through an interview. Plus, we'll verify if a SSN hasn't been issued to him / her before.
