I was born in the U.S. but we moved to Canada when I was less than a year old. I do not have a SSN but carry a US passport. I have to file a SS5 application and must appear in person at the Social Security office in Great Falls Montana. I’m getting conflicting information as to what documentation I need to supply. Could you please advise. Also do I make an appointment prior to arriving? Thank you
