How do I apply for a Social Security Number/Card or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number?
An individual can apply for a Social Security Number/Card by completing an SS-5 form and submitting it to the Social Security Administration as instructed, along with the necessary supporting materials/documentation. To apply for an ITIN, an individual can apply by completing a form W-7 and submitting it to the Internal Revenue Service as instructed, along with the necessary supporting materials/documentation. Note that if you have a Social Security Number, you don’t need an ITIN – and in fact you are not allowed to have both. Remember to read and follow the instructions for each form carefully.
