"Work Purpose Only" Social Security Cards

Answered by: 
Ken Golliher

Question: 
Can we accept "for work purpose only" social security cards to open accounts?
Answer: 

You need an identifying number to open an account, not a card. You may accept a U.S. issued TIN from both a U.S. person and a non U.S. person regardless of the purpose for which the TIN was issued.
