Can we apply for SSN in a different state?

[PHC1 1]

We are finally together (fiancee arrived 10 days ago ) We have plans to get married in a different state where my parents reside so they can participate in the ceremony. I am wondering if we can go to SS office before our wedding there (Florida) while our permanent address is in a different state. Thanks!

You want to go to your local SSA office. It doesn't make sense to go to an out-of-state office. What happens if there is a problem and you have to go back?

It is federal, so you can apply at any SSA office.

You can file in any state, doesn't matter. If there are issues you are in the SS's computer system and everything needed to recall your case will be at the hands of any office. Go and apply and have a wonderful wedding.

This is very good information because we will be in a similar situation once that time arrives. I tend to spend about 15 to 20 hours a month in my state of residence.
