Can i get a US SSn as a noncitizen of USA?

[Rory_the_bee]

Hello.

I'm from Asia. and I have no idea what my national SSN is. I asked my mom about this and she said she has no idea. I'm currently 17 year old. I had a job last summer and paid taxes. Our country has a very small documentary about SSN. I wonder if it's possible for me to use Shopify without SSN. I saw article about above 12 everyone can have SSN. I already have a PAYPAL account. If I made money on Shopify can I transfer to my PAYPAL account without SSN?  I need help on this. 

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Hi @Rory_the_bee 

You can get an SSN number if you are going to register a business. However, in order to open a Shopify store, you will need to be at least 18 years old. You can still open a Shopify store however, the documents that you will need to submit in Shopify to be verified is from your Guardian or Parents that is above 18 years of age. They will be the registered as the store owner as well and you can still manage your Shopify store as being a staff. You can check How To Start a Business Under 18 in 2024 (Guide for Kids and Parents) article for your reference.
