NOTE: Social security numbers are only required for employment. They are not needed for the purposes of getting a driver’s license or state ID, buying a car, renting an apartment, or buying a cell phone or a prepaid cell phone plan. Additionally, international students will be denied an SSN if they apply for one from the Social Security Administration without having the proper documentation of employment.
