How do I apply for a social security number?

Where to find your closest Social Security office.

The government department in charge of Social Security is called the Social Security Administration. You can find the closest office to you by looking on the Social Security Administration website at http://www.socialsecurity.gov or, for Spanish, see http://www.segurosocial.gov/espanol/.
