HOW CAN I PROVE MY AGE TO GET MY SOCIAL SECURITY?

Question: I am 65 years old and would like to apply for social security. However, I have no proof of my age, having been born in a country where the official record of my birth was destroyed during the last war. Is there any way I can prove my age?

Answer: There are several possible methods by which you may be able to establish your age for purposes of obtaining social security benefits. 1. If you still have the passport with which your entered the United States as an immigrant, it may contain your age. Such evidence is usually accepted by officials of the Social Security Administration. 2. If you have any children born in the United States, your age given on their birth certificate will ordinarily be accepted as proof of your own age. 3. In the event that you cannot furnish either of the above documents, you can probably obtain a certification as to your age at the time you first entered the United States, based on the records of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. To obtain such a certification, you should file application Form N-585, which can be obtained at the nearest office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. A $3 fee must accompany your application. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has such information for immigrants who entered the United States after June 29, 1906.
