US Social Security Number (SSN)
SSN for children and adults - by age, with or without an appointment
A US Social Security Number (SSN) is needed for tax filings, child tax refunds, opening accounts, and more. Requirements differ by the child's age, and we know exactly which path fits and what not to miss.
SSN pricing
| Service | Service fee | Gov. fee | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSN with appointment (age 12+) | 490 ₪ | $0 | includes appointment booking |
| SSN without appointment (under 12) | 390 ₪ | $0 | + ₪60 shipping |
Service payment is made only after an appointment is set. Government fees are paid directly to US authorities.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a child need an SSN?
Without a valid SSN by year-end you can't claim the Child Tax Credit (up to $1,700 refund per child). It's also required for tax filings, US bank accounts, and more.
What's the difference above vs under age 12?
Under 12 can be filed without an embassy appointment (faster and cheaper). Age 12+ requires appearing for an appointment. We handle both paths.
Can we get the SSN together with the passport?
Yes - SSN is usually filed as part of the child citizenship package (CRBA + passport + SSN). A standalone SSN is also possible.
