Parents withholding social security number from 18 year old

My friend is 18 and his parents refuse to give him his ss card. He wants to get a passport, as soon as possible. Is there anything that can be done

  • Call the SS Administration and find out how to get a replacement.
    If he’s worked anywhere he can ask his employer.

    Not normal.
    memorized mine at age 12.
    got the card to go with it.
    Never an issue.
    Who cares why he wants a passport?
    Its his right, hes an adult.
    He can buy a gun.
    why not a passport?

      You have to go to a SS office for an interview to get one. Have to take ID papers with you and answer question as to where you worked, where you were born, mother's name. They won't just mail you one -- you have to go in.
