Everybody who applies for
a social security number,
regardless of their age or
place of birth, must now
submit documentary
evidence of their age,
identity, and citizenship or
alien status, Jose J. Trevino,
Social Security district
Manager in McAllen said.
In addition, people 18 or
over who are applying for a
number for the first time
must apply in person. People
applying for a duplicate card
are now required to submit
evidence of identity.
The best evidence of age
and citizr.nship is a birth
certificate recorded shortly
after birth and this is
preferred, Trevino said.
Evidence of identity should
include material showing the
person's picture, signature,
date of birth or age, or other
identifying information.
People not born in the
United States should provide
evidence of their U.S. cit-
izenship or their im-
migration documents
showing they were lawfully
admitted to the U.S.
Trevino said that although
these new procedures make
it more difficult to get a
social security number, they
are intended to help protect
the person's social security
record and to prevent
anyone else from misusing
the person's social security
number.
People intending to ap-
ply for a social security
number should allow plenty
of time before it will be
required. Three to 4 weeks
are needed before the card
will be delivered after all
required documents have
been submitted.
All documents submitted
as evidence may be verified
with the agency which issued
them to assure they are
valid, Trevino said.
A free leaflet, "Applying
for a social security . nurn~
ber," lists the various kinds
of evidence which can be
used. Copies can be obtained jp
at the McAllen Social
Security office, located at
320 N. Main. The telephone
number is 686-3757.
