Make sure you visit your Post legal services, or the closest US consulate/embassy to determine the exact procedure for getting a SS for that child, and get the process started ASAP.

If the child was born in 2021:
IF you want any deductions/credits for that child, the SSN must be issued before you file your 2021 tax return. File an extension if needed...that would give you until October to get that SSN.
__________________________
If the child was born in 2022, then you can't put the child on your 2021 tax return anyhow...not until next year's filing in early 2023.....but get the SSN process started NOW anyhow.
