Foreign individuals authorized to work in the United States can apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) through the Social Security Administration (SSA). To qualify, applicants should have a valid work permit or be a permanent resident with permission to work.
It is important to note that foreign individuals may not be able to obtain an SSN from outside the U.S. Applying for an SSN generally requires a personal visit to an SSA office within the United States. The application process requires submitting original documents that prove your identity, work authorization, and immigration status.
