How do I prove that I have a social security number?

Provide one of these documents as proof of a social security number:
  • Social security card
  • Application for Social Security Number (Form SS-5)
  • Letter from the Social Security Administration
  • Tax Return (W-2s, 1099s, 1040s, Schedules, or other self-employed income tax returns)


Look Out
You can apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit and other benefits using an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security Number. To apply for an ITIN, call the IRS at (800)-829-1040 or visit irs.gov
