Social Security Number
"If your spouse is neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. resident and you file a Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separate tax return, your spouse must have either a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
To get an SSN for your spouse, apply at a social security office or U.S. consulate. You must complete Form SS-5. You must also provide original or certified copies of documents to verify your spouse's age, identity, and citizenship.
If your spouse is not eligible to get an SSN, they can file Form W-7 with the IRS to apply for an ITIN. Refer to Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) for more information."
