Can I apply for a social security number using just my Alien Registration Card and EAD card?

The SSA website states to show proof of Immigration status, Work eligibility, Age and Identity. It also says:

"We may use one document for two purposes. For example, we may use a DHS work permit as proof of both work eligibility and identity. However, you must provide at least two separate documents." http://www.ssa.gov/ss5doc/oriselfres.htm

I figured the Alien Registration Card and EAD would provide all of that information but I wasn't sure if SSA would still ask to see my passport... I need to get it replaced and it's a hassle to go to the Philippine Consulate downtown so I was hoping to be able to just use those 2 documents :blush:

Thanks :)

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Yes bring your passport. If you are meaning green card when you say alien registration card.. your EAD is no longer valid because you will be using the green card.
