OK, what if we lived in Mexico for some time? will you accept papers from there?
If your child lived outside the United States for an extended period , you could use a current or previous passport ,school and/or employment records ,and any other record that would show long - term residence outside the U.S. to show that your child does not have a Social Security number and needs one.
and do I need a birth certificate?
If you have or can get a U.S .- State - Issued birth certificate that recorded his or her birth before age 5 then you must submit it
