Sue	You can apply on they day they are born. Also, it is required that the child have a social security number BEFORE the parents' taxes are filed for the year they were born, otherwise the parents can't take the deduction for the child.
Lisa	A child can get a SS# as soon as they are born. It is one of the pieces of paperwork a new parents fills out before leaving the hospital.
crispy	I day old. In the US, a parent can apply for a social security number for their newborn child at birth. The Social Security Administration recommends applying for the number at the same time as filling out the birth certificate information.

mbrcatz	1 hour old. Most babies' parents apply for their social security numbers the day they are born, in the hospital.
.....	at birth.
