How do I get a Social Security Number?

If you are an International Student holding F-1 Status, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will only issue a social security card to you for purpose of employement.

The SSA will not issue Social Security Card in order to open a bank account, rent a apartment, apply for driver's license or sign up a cell phone service.

You can apply for Social Security Card if you have permission to work On-Campus.
