NSS-1A

The Affidavit Stating No Social Security Number (Form NSS-1A) is a legal document used by individuals in New York who have never been issued a Social Security Number (SSN) by the Social Security Administration. It serves as a formal declaration to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allowing these individuals to apply for a New York State permit, driver license, or vehicle registration without providing an SSN.

The form requires the applicant's full legal name, date of birth, and signature to affirm the statement under penalty of perjury. To be valid, the affidavit must be witnessed: if submitted by mail, it must be notarized by a certified Notary Public; if submitted in person, it must be witnessed by a DMV Motor Vehicle Representative. While the form helps fulfill identification requirements, it does not provide any points toward the identity proof total required for a license and is not a federally recognized form of identification for purposes like boarding domestic flights.
