Mom of a 12-year-old child comes in to apply for her child's replacement SS5. She has an unexpired driver's license and the child's original birth certificate. Is this enough information to process a replacement SS5?

No - While you can use a birth certificate to prove age or citizenship, you cannot use it as proof of identity. Social Security needs evidence that shows the child continues to exist beyond the date of birth. We can accept only certain documents as proof of your child's identity. An acceptable document must show your child's name, identifying information (i.e., age, date of birth, or parents' names) and preferably a recent photograph. We generally can accept a non-photo identity document if it has enough information to identify the child (such as the child's name and age, date of birth or parents' names).

Mr. Eriksson, 36, a LPR, comes into a field office to apply for an original SSN. He alleges that he has been in the U.S. for approximately three weeks and has had no prior visits. He presents the CSR with all required documents to obtain an SSN. Mr. Eriksson says he did not apply for an SSN as part of the immigrant visa application (also known as the Enumeration at Entry (EAE) process). Is there any additional development needed on the CSRs part.

CSR reviews his documents, looking for any other names or DOBs and performs an alpha

Index query. Alpha index reveals that ssa did not issue an ssn card and therefore is entered into SS5 program.
