Step 6: Social Security documentation:
Bring your Social Security card or another acceptable document showing your full Social Security number (such as a W-2, SSA-1099, non-SSA-1099, or pay stub).
If you have not been assigned a Social Security number, obtain a No Social Security Number verification letter (also called an SSA refusal/ineligibility letter, Form SSA-L676) from the Social Security Administration.
