All applicants who cannot furnish an SSN must apply in person for an original SSN or a replacement SSN card at the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA).

Provide the applicant with an SSA Form SS-5, Application for Social Security Card, and advise the individual to submit Form SS-5 to the nearest SSA office and request Form 5028, Receipt of Application for SSN. Advise the applicant that benefits cannot be issued until verification of enumeration has been submitted or good cause for not enumerating has been determined to exist (See FAM 309.01 , SSN Eligibility and Applicant Notification Requirement ) .

Application for an SSN will generate an original social security card. When an original social security card has been lost, application for an SSN will generate a duplicate of the original.
If more than one SSN appears for the same individual, report the duplication to SSA.
If providing the individual with Form SS-5, Application for Social Security Card , complete the NPN block so that SSA can verifiy electronically the issuance of an SSN.
