Social Security

Social Security services for residents of Denmark are provided by the Federal Benefits Unit (FBU) in Oslo, Norway. For information on Social Security benefits, you should access the

FBU website at http://norway.usembassy.gov/federal_benefits.html

You may still apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) at the Embassy in Copenhagen, or apply for a replacement SSN card due to loss or change of name.

Procedure for Obtaining a Social Security Number Card

Social Security numbers are issued to U.S. citizens and to Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs), so-called green card holders. LPRs acquire their number after they are admitted to the U.S. Any U.S. citizen may apply for a social security number.

All applicants for Social Security Numbers who are 12 years of age or older must apply in person at the Embassy. Opening hours are from 9.00 to 12.00, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, except for American and Danish holidays. An appointment is necessary.
