Applicants May No Longer Request for SSN in I-765

 

In the most recent edition of Form I-765, dated 08/21/2025 (released on 01/05/2026) application for employment authorization document (EAD), USCIS removes the questions regarding request for a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) on the form.   In effect, EAD applicants may no longer request a SSN when applying for an EAD.  Reportedly, even before this announcement, the Social Security Administration has already stopped issuing SSN since spring 2025. 

Instead, EAD applicants must appear in person at a local Social Security Administration office to apply for a Social Security Number/Card.
