  • Immigration status if the child is not a U.S. citizen.

Step 2: Gather documents proving your:

  • Identity
  • Custody/relationship for the child

Step 3: Complete an Application for a Social Security card.

Step 4: Take or mail the completed application and documents to your local Social Security office or your local Social Security Card Center.
