My passport and Social Security card

[jxx.47 0]

Hey fellow immigrants

So, I was born in Texas and therefore I have two citizenships - an American and a German one (because my parents are from Germany). We currently live in Germany, but I'm planning on moving to the states as soon as possible. I'm not 18 yet, though. But that's not the problem.

I was issued a Social Security card and a passport during our stay in Texas, and my very mindful, considerate parents happened to somehow lose the Social Security card during one of our relocations. Of course we don't remember my SSN either; I was too young and my parents didn't think it was important. But I need it to apply for a new passport, as the old one isn't valid anymore, don't I? Can someone please tell me what to do? May I just say that I lost mine and need a new one? Because here's the thing: usually, you can't apply for a passport without the SSN; but you can't apply for a new SSN without the old one or your passport, either.

Please help! ??

Greetings, Jacky

You can go to social security and bring your birth certificate.

To renew your passport you do need to jot down the number not the actual card.

Your still a minor you may need a parent to go aswell.

You don't need a new SSN; your SSN is yours for life, you just need someone to tell you what the number is.
