The Social Security number is important, since they will ask us for it, for example, when we go to look for work. Likewise, it will help us to consult our work life, since this code is associated with a specific person, with a name and surname, throughout their entire working life. In other words, the Social Security affiliation number does not change, it always remains the same throughout life.
However, this number is not given to us automatically or sent to our home, but rather we have to request it. The first request for the Social Security affiliation number can be made by our first employee or by ourselves, by going to the Social Security offices or its website.
The procedure to obtain the Social Security number is very fast and simple, as well as free. It is not necessary to be actively working to request it, since it can be requested beforehand to open an activity or register as a self-employed worker.
