I think you have to have a Social Security Number to open a bank account. The best solution is to just get the necessary forms from the INS, file for a Visa and get yourself documented so you can do things like open checking accounts, rent better housing, earn credit and earn better pay.

If you dont want to pay for the services such as bank of america here are a couple of things you can do to reduce your chances of your identity being stolen\n\n1. shred all your mail\n\n2. By law, you can request 1 copy of your credit history every year from each of the three credit history companies at  www.annualcreditreport.com\n    I suggest you stagger your requests to each of them i.e. request experian first then 4 months later request another report from transunion, and another 4 months later from equifax. this way you get a free report every 4 months. \n\n3. dispute anything that is wrong (most common: credit cards forget to tell the credit history guys that you closed your account or paid all your loans in full)\n\n4. when online, try to use virtual credit numbers to make the purchases. this facility is available for citicard customers, and maybe amex. the virtual numbers are good only for 1 use, and useless after that. so if someone steals that, it is useless.\n\n5. when buying something offline, save your receipts, and make sure your statement is accurate. (a favourite scam is to charge maybe 50cents on a statement, that way you dont notice it, but a scammer who charges 10,000 card owners 50cents a month can make $5000 a month no sweat -- and you dont even realize it)\n\n6. also dont forget to shread any credit card solicitations you dont plan to use.

You will be unable to get a telephone number or street address associated with a social security number. You'll have to return it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services located at www.uscis.gov.

Are you an American with a Social Security number? AnnualCreditReport.com is an American based company. Credit in the states is Social Security number based, so if you don't have a SS#, you wouldn't be able to pull your credit.\n\nI'm not sure why it won't let you pull your credit If you have a SS#. Maybe if you are from the States and you use the last address you had when you still lived here, instead of your address in Germany it might work. If you have lived in Germany for a long time, then I don't know how current it would be. But it is free, so you might want to try it that way. Otherwise, you might want to try one of the other free credit report sites. Just do a search for free credit reports.

You must have a social security number to work in the United States, or permission of our government, you are punishable by our laws governing this issue.  You can receive a card allowing you the rights to be here only for specific endeavors or specific time restraints if you are not an American citizen.

basically a secured credit card is one based on a deposit, say you deposit $ 100, and they give you a credit card of $ 100 or more (sometimes they may offer 2-3 times the deposit).\nIf you have no credit, you can probably get a store credit card quickly and easily and then by that virtue a major unsecured credit card within  a couple months.

You can start by getting a free credit report by going to AnnualCreditReport.com, the government's response to credit and identity theft. It will direct you to chose one of the three major reporting agencies to get your current report. You will have to pay for your credit score, however.\n\nTo find a credit card that might issue you at least a minimum limit card of say $500, try ConsumerCredit.com, a website of American Consumer Credit Counseling, which offers free services. It is a clearing house for consumer complaints and rates credit cards, and might work with you to get one.\n\nOtherwise, you'll just have to fill out credit issuers' applications and wait to see if they approve you, one by one.

Your best bet is to open an account in Europe, with one of the online banks. PayPal recognizes European accounts as well as US accounts.\n\nYou won't be able to obtain a US bank account without either a Social Security number, or a TIN from the IRS.\n\nBut, if you have a friend in the USA who can open an account for you, that would be the simplest way. Send him/her $20 to open an account.

I would visit a local SS office and bring some good ID like a picture driver's license.\n\nA web site would be an easy way for potential fraud.

The only way to do that would be to prove that you are here legally ...green card etc...other than that if you dont have a ssn or a birth certificate they will not allow you to process a license request ...\n\nSorry

Depends on the state, but the state bureau of vital statistics will probably accept a driver's license or similar ID to request a birth certificate. There is probably a written request form, and a fee.  I have to get birth/death certificates occasionally, even for other people, and it is fairly easy (if slow) to obtain them.  I've had to ID myself, but not with an SS card.  Good luck!

Depends what state you live in. example in Texas, you have to have your SSN card no matter what. More likely you will be told to wait until you physically have the card.
