For many retirees living overseas, it is common for the host country to request proof of income. This shows that the person can pay for their stay while in the country. One way to show this is the social security letter that has payment information and apostille a social security card.
What is an Apostille?
All countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961 agree upon an apostille as proof of document authentication. This is a uniformly accepted way to confirm the document is genuine and unaltered papers. For non-member countries, the paperwork must be authenticated through the country’s embassy.
Steps to Apostille a Social Security Card
If you have a social security card tucked away in your safe, great! If not, you can order a replacement card from the social security office.
You will not need to notarize your social security card before the apostille process.
Since your social security card is a federal document, you must contact the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., to obtain the apostille.
If the receiving country is not a member of the Hague Convention of 1961, the social security card requires embassy authentication. The card must be presented to the country’s embassy.
