Obtaining
a Social Security Number
Non-immigrants or immigrants who are authorized to
work in the U.S. will need to apply for a Social Security Number
in person at the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office located
at 5021 Bradford Dr., Huntsville, Alabama. Please call 256-837-7010
for hours of operation and directions.
A letter verifying visa status will need to be obtained from UAH
before visiting the SSA Office. Presently, the SSA Officers are
required to verify citizenship and visa status of all applicants
prior to the issuance of a Social Security Number. This process
normally takes around 10 calendar days. If verification does not
occur within 10 days, the SSA is required to submit a request for
verification by mail to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). A number cannot
be issued until this verification is received from USCIS. |
Obtaining
an Alabama Driver's License
State law requires all operators of motor vehicles
to obtain an Alabama Driver’s License. All nonimmigrants who
are eligible and wish to drive in the state must abide by this law.
An International Driver’s License is usually valid for 30
days only in the U.S. after which time the Alabama license must
be obtained to drive legally.
The Alabama Department of Public Safety, Driver’s License
Office requires a Social Security Number (SSN) before a license
can be applied for. This office is located at 1115 Church Street
in Huntsville, Alabama. Please call 256-539-0681 for hours of operation
and directions.
If a *non-us citizen has applied for a SSN and is not eligible to
work, proof of denial by the SSA must be obtained to apply for the
license. Proof of visa status will also need to be presented. The
closest office where these licenses are issued is in Decatur, Alabama
located on the first floor of the Courthouse at 302 Lee St. N.E.
