I live in a foreign country. How do I get a social security number
for my dependent who qualifies for a social security card?
Use Form SS-5-FS which may be obtained from the Social
Security Administration .
My spouse is a nonresident alien. How can I get a nonworking social
security number for her?
Each foreign person who does not have and cannot obtain a social security
number must use an IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) on
any U.S. tax return or refund claim filed. For additional information on ITINs
click on Individual
Taxpayer Identification Number.
