Social Security Number for spouse

I’ve been married ten years in Japan and don’t plan on immigrating back to the US but for estate benficiary purposes (ex. my us bank account and Roth IRA) the benficiary needs a social security number. How difficult would it be about getting her one with no intention of moving back. Thanks for any help this stuff is such a headache.

  1. IIRC, a tax ID number can be made that seems to be a social-security number, but it’s actually called something else. I know this is not much to go on, but it might help your Google searches….

  2. My wife got one .. she had to go to the embassy.. I think for a notary for the application.. it doesn’t matter if you’re planning on moving back or not ..
