Social Security Numbers for American Citizen Children

 

If you have a child born abroad, you can register him/her and get a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and apply for a first time passport at the US Embassy, Accra.  Learn more about a CRBA and a first time passport.  You can also get your child a Social Security Number through the Social Security Administration office.

If you otherwise have an American Citizen dependent without a Social Security Number, or have questions about obtaining a Social Security Number, please follow this link.
