You cannot get the child tax credit for a child who does not have a Social Security number. And, sorry, but you cannot go back and amend a 2022 return later on after getting a SSN and get the credit. It does not work that way. You must have a SSN for the child at the time you file in order to get the child tax credit. With an ITIN it would be possible only to get the $500 credit for other dependents, ---not the child tax credit.
