"To prove your identity and immigration status, show us your current U.S. immigration documents and your unexpired foreign passport."

If a parent signs the application, he or she also needs to provide proof of identity. However, a child of any age can sign his or he own application. If the child is age 12 or older, he or she must appear in person at the office even if a parent has signed the application.

Mayby birth sertificate will work?

We may use one document for two purposes. For example, we may use your DHS work permit as proof of both your identity and work-authorized immigration status. Your birth certificate or passport may serve as proof of age. However, you must provide at least two separate documents.

Nope Birth certificate establishes age and for people born in the U.S., U.S. citizenship. That's it.

4. Why a birth record is not evidence of identity

A birth record establishes a fact of birth (i.e., that the person was born) and the legal name at birth. It is not sufficient evidence to establish identity for SSA purposes because it does not establish the person’s continued existence. Therefore, SSA does not accept a birth record as an identity document because it is not adequate evidence to show that the person is still alive. SSA needs evidence that shows the individual continues to exist beyond the date of birth up to the present time.

You could give it a try applying with the Form I-551 (Green Card) and birth certificate. All you have to lose is they say come back when you have a valid passport for the child. You need proof of age, identity and work authorization. The birth certificate is proof of age and the Form I-551 is proof of work authorization. If they accept the Form I-551 as proof of identity without the passport, you have provided two documents.
