Social Security Cards

In the US, Social Security cards are issued by the Social Security Administration. The card, or rather the number displayed on the card, is the de facto national identifier for US citizens, especially for tax and credit purposes. The original card is best kept carefully safeguarded and only presented as proof of citizenship and the right to work in the USA. The 9-digit number displayed on the card is privileged information which, if it becomes public, could be used to steal one's identity.

Why are the numbers on the back of your Social Security card associated with the Federal Reserve?

The numbers on the back of your Social Security card are not associated in any way with the Federal Reserve. This is an internet myth.

What if I have been using a wrong social security number?

If you are the victim in a report and your ssn is wrong, you will want to contact the police department that wrote the report and have the report corrected and reprinted. If you do not need the report for an insurance or other legal reason, I wouldn't worry too much, but, if you are the perpetrator or guilty party, I would disregard the error. If the authorities want you, they either know where to find you or they cannot find you without searching by your ssn. Then, I imagine it would be a good break for you and a mistake on the part of the PD. They will wish they had paid better attention to what they were doing.

Can you find your alien registration number with social security card?

Not every non-citizen is issued an A-number, or Alien Registration number. The number issued to international students on Employment Authorization Documents was traditionally an alternate 9 digit number which was reserved just for students who acquired temporary work authorization.

Any person who has received an immigrant visa, or been placed into removal proceedings, or more recently has been the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition or certain specialized work visas get an A-number assigned to them. For Lawful Permanent Residents, the number is clearly shown on their Permanent Residency Card (sometimes called a 'green card'). Any official communication from USCIS to a person with an alien registration number will show the A-number, which is an 8 or 9 digit number beginning with the letter A, i.e. A123456789. If you have any documents from USCIS addressed to you, and you have an A-number, your A-number will be on the communication. When a person naturalizes to U.S. citizenship, the A-number is clearly shown on the upper right corner of the document.

If you have no documentation, and you have lost your Permanent Resident Card or certificate of naturalization, you may make an Infopass appointment through the USCIS.GOV website: infopass.uscis.gov, to go to your local USCIS office with official photo identification, and using your birthdate and name an information officer will be able to look up your number. Of course, you should then submit an application to replace your lost document, and unfortunately, that can be somewhat expensive.

As with any legal issue, this information is not a substitute for advice to your specific situation from a qualified immigration attorney, and if there is any doubt as to one's status under U.S. immigration law, presenting oneself at a USCIS office without seeking legal advice first may not be the most prudent course of action.

There are other cases in which you get an A#, for example when you get an H1B Visa.
