The Social Security Administration (SSA) Form SS5 is used to submit an original application for a Social Security Number (SSN) and SSN Card. It can also be filed for a replacement card or to change/correct information.

In this example, we look at two parents who must submit the original application for their newborn child. It's important that the application is submitted as soon as possible because a valid SSN is required for federal income tax purposes, specifically various child tax credits and other benefits.
