How do I get my son's social security number?

How can I get a job, without having to use a social security number.?

  • Hi, i am an 18 year old without a social security number, i am really a hard working teenager, i am doing good in school, but i need a real job, but the problem is, i don't have a social security number. Today in every job, they ask for social security number. I just don;t know how to do it because i don't have a social security number, How can i work, and not have problems with anybody.

  • Answer:

    You need to get a passport. The passport is proof of both eligability to work and citizenship. Tell them that due to your religious convictions that you don't care to have "the number". At the end of the day ask these people to show/produce 2 things for you. 1) the law that says anyone born in the US MUST have a SSN and 2) where it says you have to have the # to work. Now that we've covered that... do you have any idea how much of a pain it's going to be to constantly go through this drill with an american public that thinks everyone HAS to have that number? Look at all the answers above. They're ALL wrong. But ... if EVERYONE thinks that... does it matter if they're wrong?

You can't legally. If you are a US citizen just get the number. If not, stop breaking the law and leave the country. We don't like lawbreakers here - it's why we have prisons.

If you lost your social security number than you can go to your City Hall and get a new one. You need a social security number for everything in this day and age. If you were never issued one than you'll have to apply for one by filling out paper work and having your birth certificate to show to someone who will then verify that you are a legal US citizen. If you're not a legal citizen than I don't know what to tell you. When you break the law, it'll catch up with you eventually.

You can't. When you work, you are required to pay in social security taxes. This requires you to have a social security number. It's interesting that you got this far without one. Your parents are required to have one for you in order to claim you as a dependent on their taxes. Or are you illegal aliens?

Woooohoooo

The only way you can work without one is "under the table" and that's illegal. Are you a citizen of the United States? If so, you do have a social security number. If you're not, If I'm not mistaken, there's a way you can still get a social security number but it will be a temporary.
