No you can get one for free at the link below however new rules are in effect for replacement cards.\nYou can replace your Social Security card if it is lost or stolen. You are limited to three replacement cards in a year and 10 during your lifetime. Legal name changes and changes in noncitizen status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship.

Go to www.socialsecurity.gov.  It's #1 on the Yahoo search results page.  In the search box at the head of the Social Security Administration page, choose "social security number and card".  You will get a list of questions.  Go to page 2, question 22.  The details are there.  \nThe gist of it is that you will have to wait until there is actual use of your SSN by another before they will issue you a new one, but I would advise you to read it for yourself.

None. You need ID to open an account.\n\nAnd now, most banks require two forms of identification, not including your SS card or birth certificate.

why do you need to pay for one

I work at a bank. I know that you CAN open a bank account without ssn (you just have to sign W-8 form which they ll provide to you). However, without a social security number you are not eligible for a credit product (such as credit cards, loans etc). HOwever, you can get a debit card with your checking account and spend the money you have in your account with it everywhere in the world accepts Visa, MAster Card (Assuming your debit card will be one of them).\n\nGood luck.

Drivers Licenses have to hold up to the day to day wear and tear in your pocket and wallet.  It needs to be able to hold up for years.\n\nSocial Security Cards are printed on what's called "Security Paper".  If you laminate it, it will be impossible to tell if some of the security features are there, hence why they tell you NOT to laminate the card.  The Social Security Administration does not encourage you to carry around your Social Security Card with you for reasons of Identity Theft.

it is really crucial to have a SSN if you plan on getting a credit card in the US. better try international credit cards. you'll have a better chance of getting one if you are financially stable.
