    To clarify, could you give us some additional details?

    Does the child qualify for a Social Security Number?

    Not sure. He is not US citizen neither a permanent resident. We relocated here in 2023 from overseas. He is in H4 visa, dependent of H1B visa. Please kindly suggest.

    Information Required to Get a Social Security Card

    • Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5)
    • Two original documents proving your identity, immigration status, work eligibility, and age.
     

    As far as documentation, for example, a work permit can be used as proof of both your identity and work-authorized immigration status. Some other acceptable documents to prove your work authorization can include your immigrant visa, an employment-based admission stamp, the I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, and any work permits or Employment Authorization Documents (EAD).4

     

    Note

    Your birth certificate or passport may serve as proof of age. However, you need two separate documents to prove eligibility for a social security number.

     

    for your child contact the Social Security Admin
